Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Upthorpe: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Landlord and trade work in Upthorpe
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
