- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Houghton, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Houghton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Houghton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Houghton questions
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Houghton. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Houghton?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need uPVC repair in Houghton?
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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
Comparing quotes
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
