uPVC repair in South Hylton without replacing anything
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Our technicians work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, white uPVC and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know

South Hylton questions
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you come to South Hylton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to South Hylton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Sunderland.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Most customers in South Hylton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What else we do in South Hylton
Do you need uPVC repair in South Hylton?
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.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
Repair or replace in South Hylton?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses
