uPVC repair at your home in Newtown
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We regularly repair window frames & sills, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newtown
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When to call us in Newtown
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Look out for these signs:
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Aftercare advice
- If travel is included in the price
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Questions from Newtown
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What’s near Newtown

The nearest railway station is Penrith station, about 3.7 miles north of the centre. Further afield, we also cover the area around Wetheriggs Pottery & Museum (2.1 miles north-east) and Lowther Castle (0.5 miles south-west). For a walk, there is Rough Hill Tarn and Heughscar Hill.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Getting ready for the visit

How to get a price
