How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
uPVC repair in Etherley Dene, done in place
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our repair technicians work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and doors & door panels, and people most frequently call us about holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DL14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. 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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
