uPVC repair at your home in York
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Whether it’s damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms, we can usually put it right, on doors & door panels, window frames & sills and conservatory frames alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Your questions about uPVC repair in York
Do you repair coloured uPVC?

What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need uPVC repair in York?
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in York use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Repair or replace in York?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. 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.
