- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Rookby
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
