uPVC repair in Durham, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Our repair technicians work on conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills, and common reasons people get in touch are damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Questions from Durham
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Durham and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Durham.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Here we cover the DH1 postcode area. We regularly work on streets such as High Street, Market Place and Cooper Square. Durham is on the A167 and A177, which makes it straightforward to reach.

You’ll also find Durham Sixth Form Centre (within half a mile south), United Reformed Church (within half a mile south), Durham University Library and Collections (1 mile south) and St Margaret's Church of England Primary School (0.9 miles south-west).

Can I fix it myself?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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.

Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Durham, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairing versus replacing in Durham
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

- Colour-matched on site
