How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Do you need uPVC repair in Whitley Wood?

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Common reasons people in Whitley Wood contact us include:

  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Whitley Wood questions

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Do you cover Whitley Wood?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Whitley Wood. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Whitley Wood?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
