The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gatehead. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Gatehead, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Gatehead

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What does uPVC repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
