uPVC repair in Gelston, done in place
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our technicians work on window frames & sills, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most often call us about damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
What you get with us

- Nothing taken out or refitted

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Gelston. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
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.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Gelston, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
What we’re called out for in Gelston
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Gelston
