uPVC repair at your home in Carlisle
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We’re often asked to fix damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture, in window frames & sills, doors & door panels and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.
Carlisle: your questions answered
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When to call us in Carlisle
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Landlord and trade work in Carlisle
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Carlisle. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
See our prices page.
What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
