Are you a vetted contractor?

Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you work in Underbarrow?

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Underbarrow?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
When to call us in Underbarrow
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
Questions to ask before booking
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if they find more damage
- What aftercare is recommended
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
