Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle uPVC repair in Whessoe
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. If you are dealing with damage during building work and burns on sills, we can help, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Whessoe: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you need uPVC repair in Whessoe?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Whessoe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
