How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material

- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
uPVC repair in Unthank without replacing anything
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We are frequently asked to fix chips and dents and damage during building work, on window frames & sills, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Common questions in Unthank
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What we’re called out for in Unthank
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- What preparation is included
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
