What else we do in Lake
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
Your questions about uPVC repair in Lake
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Lake?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your DT9 postcode.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
If you’re in Lake and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually.
