UPVC repair for Aithsetter homes

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 keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We don’t add 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.

Why book with us

uPVC repair at your home in Aithsetter

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. If you’re dealing with chips and dents and burns on sills, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

  • Conservatory frames
  • Window frames & sills
  • White uPVC
  • Doors & door panels
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Your questions about uPVC repair in Aithsetter

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you repair coloured uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Aithsetter included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Aithsetter. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

If you are in Aithsetter and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
