About our uPVC repair in Tebay

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Whether it’s chips and dents and burns on sills, we can typically put it right, on doors & door panels, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Tebay

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Do you need uPVC repair in Tebay?

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the colour is matched
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Tebay, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
