uPVC repair in Hetton-le-Hole without replacing anything

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. If you are dealing with chips and dents and damage during building work, we can typically put it right, on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and doors & door panels alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Hetton-le-Hole

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Hetton-le-Hole?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover Hetton-le-Hole?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Hetton-le-Hole. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hetton-le-Hole, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hetton-le-Hole. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Hetton-le-Hole customers choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When to call us in Hetton-le-Hole

  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
