Questions from Waldridge
Do you cover Waldridge?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Waldridge and the rest of County Durham. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
What areas do you cover?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across County Durham.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

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. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Common problems we fix in Waldridge
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
What to look for in a quote
- How to care for the finish
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Landlord and trade work in Waldridge
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Waldridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
