uPVC repair at your home in South Hetton
We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our technicians work on white uPVC, doors & door panels and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in South Hetton
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in South Hetton?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your DH6 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you come to South Hetton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to South Hetton and the rest of County Durham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Hetton
If you manage property in South Hetton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Hetton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
