DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Common questions in Crofton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide, so Crofton is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

What affects the price in Crofton
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repairing versus replacing in Crofton
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
