About our uPVC repair in Woodbank
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our repair technicians work on window frames & sills, white uPVC and doors & door panels, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Questions from Woodbank
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cheshire West and Chester.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
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 quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Woodbank?
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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
When to call us in Woodbank
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
