How uPVC repair works in Derry
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We work on doors & door panels, white uPVC and conservatory frames, and people most frequently call us about damage during building work and burns on sills.
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How the damage happens
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Landlords, agents and businesses in Derry
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Derry as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What affects the price in Derry
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Derry. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Derry: your questions answered
Do you come to Derry?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Derry for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
