uPVC repair at your home in Rickleton
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 will not last.

Questions from Rickleton
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
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.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Sunderland.
Do you cover the entire of Sunderland?
Across the UK, so Rickleton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Rickleton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
