Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How we handle uPVC repair in Horwich
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms, on window frames & sills, doors & door panels and white uPVC.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What affects the price in Horwich
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Horwich get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common questions in Horwich
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is repairing better 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.
