Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
uPVC repair in Shotton Colliery, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. If you are dealing with holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can normally put it right, on white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
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 photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you’re in Shotton Colliery and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Shotton Colliery
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
