Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

The entire UK, including all of Bolton. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Rivington. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
- A photo taken from further back
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
For anyone letting property in or around Rivington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
What we are called out for in Rivington
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Questions to ask before booking
- How your room will be protected
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Should you replace it?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
