uPVC Repair for St John's Chapel homes
Damaged window, door or sill in St John's Chapel? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
uPVC repair in St John's Chapel, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Whether it’s holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents, we can typically put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

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. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

St John's Chapel questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, St John's Chapel included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you come to St John's Chapel?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to St John's Chapel from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any details about the material
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
