UPVC repair in Leamside

uPVC repair in Leamside without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We regularly repair coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and doors & door panels, and people most often call us about damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DH4 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Leamside

Do you cover Leamside?

We do. Technicians travel to Leamside from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the entire UK

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leamside

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
