Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
uPVC repair at your home in Hincaster
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Typical jobs include burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture, on conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 you book.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

When to call us in Hincaster
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.
Common reasons people in Hincaster contact us are:
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
- How your room will be protected
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. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Hincaster. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
