uPVC window & door repair in Wingate, County Durham
Problem with your window, door or sill in Wingate? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wingate as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Wingate
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
