Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Common problems we fix in Woodthorpe
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- Where you are, by postcode
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your S12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Woodthorpe?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Woodthorpe
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
