DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Great Salkeld. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most clients in Great Salkeld get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairing versus replacing in Great Salkeld
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Salkeld
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When to call us in Great Salkeld
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure

FAQs for Great Salkeld
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

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

What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
