UPVC repair in Middle Herrington

About our uPVC repair in Middle Herrington

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Whether it’s damage during building work and chips and dents, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Landlord and trade work in Middle Herrington

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

10 questions to ask before booking

Middle Herrington questions

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Sunderland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Middle Herrington. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Doors & door panels
  • Window frames & sills
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • White uPVC
  • Conservatory frames

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. 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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
