uPVC repair at your home in Whitley
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our repair technicians work on window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames, and people most frequently call us about holes from removed fittings and alarms and chips and dents.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Whitley, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Whitley
Are there extra charges for Whitley?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Whitley?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RG2 postcode.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Should you replace it?
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 keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs 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 you know the cost before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Whitley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
