uPVC repair in Thickholme without replacing anything
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We are often asked to fix burns on sills and chips and dents, across conservatory frames, white uPVC and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Same prices wherever you are
- Everything repaired in place
- Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
Your questions about uPVC repair in Thickholme
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover Thickholme?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Thickholme and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
If you manage property in Thickholme, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
