Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Winkleigh
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Winkleigh?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Winkleigh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Winkleigh. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
