What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

Most clients in West Hallam get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

West Hallam: your questions answered

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Are there extra charges for West Hallam?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, West Hallam included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we are called out for in West Hallam

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
