For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Advice
What affects the price in Arbroath
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- The material, if you know it
For a price in Arbroath, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repairing versus replacing in Arbroath
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why choose Surface Doctor in Arbroath
- Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
