Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Our repair technicians work on doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Advice
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Whitstable
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames

Questions from Whitstable
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Repair or replace in Whitstable?
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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
