uPVC repair in Gleaston, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. If you’re dealing with scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Advice
Gleaston questions
How much does uPVC repair cost in Gleaston?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LA12 postcode.
Do you come to Gleaston?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Gleaston from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Gleaston. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door 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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What we’re called out for in Gleaston
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Questions to ask before you book
- How to care for the finish

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gleaston. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
