About our uPVC repair in Tanfield

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We regularly repair conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

FAQs for Tanfield

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you work in Tanfield?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Tanfield from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Tanfield

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Tanfield

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. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tanfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface

  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work
