- Repairs from £95

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
uPVC repair in Lanehead, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Common call-outs are for burns on sills and damage during building work, across doors & door panels, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- 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 repair
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
Repairing versus replacing in Lanehead
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What else we do in Lanehead
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
