Common questions in Salterforth
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Salterforth?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
uPVC repair in Salterforth without replacing anything
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Our repair technicians work on conservatory frames, white uPVC and window frames & sills, and people most frequently call us about chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we are called out for in Salterforth
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Salterforth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BB18 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Salterforth
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
