We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes.

Inskip: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Inskip?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PR4 postcode.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Inskip
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
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 leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
