uPVC repair in Abbeyhill without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our repair technicians work on white uPVC, conservatory frames and doors & door panels, and the jobs we see most are damage during building work and scratches from ladders and furniture.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What we’re called out for in Abbeyhill

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Abbeyhill

If you manage property in Abbeyhill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

What affects the price in Abbeyhill

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Abbeyhill, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
