Repairing versus replacing in Whixley
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Whixley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Whixley
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.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you need uPVC repair in Whixley?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Whixley
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
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.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most customers in Whixley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.
