uPVC repair in Gawthwaite, done in place
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We are frequently asked to fix holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, across white uPVC, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What affects the price in Gawthwaite
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gawthwaite. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
