Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Deneside
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
What happens next?
