When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
