uPVC repair in Westhead without replacing anything
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We work on conservatory frames, window frames & sills and white uPVC, and the jobs we see most are damage during building work and chips and dents.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

FAQs for Westhead
Do you work in Westhead?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Westhead. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good.
