Advice
uPVC repair at your home in Cotherstone
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We regularly repair white uPVC, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most frequently call us about scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What affects the price in Cotherstone
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cotherstone. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Cotherstone get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What else we do in Cotherstone
Landlord and trade work in Cotherstone
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the whole UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page.
Cotherstone: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

We cover the whole UK, including Cotherstone and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
