Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What affects the price in Benfieldside
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. 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.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the area is dry
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Do you need uPVC repair in Benfieldside?
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled

Common questions in Benfieldside
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Benfieldside?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DH8 postcode.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Benfieldside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
