Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Window frames & sills
  • Conservatory frames
  • Doors & door panels
  • White uPVC
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gosforth. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Gosforth clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs

What we’re called out for in Gosforth

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Gosforth

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Do you work in Gosforth?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gosforth. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

When can you do it?

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

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Gosforth?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CA20 postcode.

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’ll tell you.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
