Should you replace it?

uPVC repair in Prospect, done in place
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

What affects the price in Prospect
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Prospect. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Prospect
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
The things clients typically mention when they call include:
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How to look after the finish
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
