For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common questions in Wivenhoe
What does uPVC repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Repairing versus replacing in Wivenhoe
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Wivenhoe

See our prices page.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Wivenhoe
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Wivenhoe. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
