About our uPVC repair in Stanley

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We are frequently asked to fix chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms, on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and conservatory frames.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. 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 is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site

Questions from Stanley

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you come to Stanley?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stanley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Stanley. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

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

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Conservatory frames
  • White uPVC
  • Window frames & sills
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Doors & door panels

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Stanley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What we are called out for in Stanley

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents

  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price
