About our uPVC repair in Craghead
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. If you’re dealing with holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

FAQs for Craghead
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Craghead?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH9 postcode.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Craghead use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Craghead, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Craghead?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
