Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repair or replace in Penrith?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Landlord and trade work in Penrith
Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Common questions in Penrith
Do you cover Penrith?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Penrith and the rest of Cumbria. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
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.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What else we do in Penrith
When a repair isn’t 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we work on in Penrith
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
