uPVC repair in Melmerby, done in place
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. If you are dealing with damage during building work and burns on sills, we can usually put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Melmerby

Your questions about uPVC repair in Melmerby
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Melmerby
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether they match the colour on site
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
