UPVC repair for Shotley homes

When to call us in Shotley

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Our hiring checklist

uPVC repair in Shotley, done in place

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. If you are dealing with holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, we can usually put it right, on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, white uPVC and window frames & sills alike.

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.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Shotley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shotley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
