DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
uPVC repair at your home in Startforth
We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Typical jobs include holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and white uPVC.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Repairing versus replacing in Startforth
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DL12 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Startforth
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?

Do you hold any accreditations?

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
