  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Conservatory frames
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Doors & door panels
  • White uPVC
  • Window frames & sills

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When to call us in Upper Sanday

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Common reasons people in Upper Sanday contact us include:

  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • One visit for most repairs
