- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
Questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wain Lee use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Repairing versus replacing in Wain Lee
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wain Lee. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
FAQs for Wain Lee
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Wain Lee included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What else we do in Wain Lee
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
