Lumley Thicks questions
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Lumley Thicks.
Do you come to Lumley Thicks?

What areas do you cover?
All of Sunderland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
About our uPVC repair in Lumley Thicks
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Whether it’s scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills, we can typically put it right, on doors & door panels, window frames & sills and white uPVC alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What else we do in Lumley Thicks
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lumley Thicks
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, 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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
