How we handle uPVC repair in Fulwood
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms, in doors & door panels, conservatory frames and white uPVC.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC

Fulwood questions
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Are there extra charges for Fulwood?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you work in Fulwood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Fulwood for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Repair or replace in Fulwood?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
