uPVC Repair for Harraton homes
Our technicians come to Harraton for scratch, chip, burn and hole repairs to uPVC windows, doors and sills. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, 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 smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE38 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

uPVC repair in Harraton, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Our technicians work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in Harraton
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Harraton
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you accredited?

What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Harraton.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
