DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Wherstead?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What affects the price in Wherstead
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wherstead. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- A picture taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Wherstead questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Wherstead. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you need uPVC repair in Wherstead?
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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.
What we work on
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
