How we handle uPVC repair in Cleator

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Common call-outs are for holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, on window frames & sills, conservatory frames and doors & door panels.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Why repair rather than replace?

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 leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No need to remove anything

See our prices page.

What affects the price in Cleator

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Cleator

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Cleator and the rest of Cumbria. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
