About uPVC repair in East Lothian
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
What you’ll pay
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for East Lothian. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place.
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How long it needs to cure
Common problems we fix in East Lothian
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
The price 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 there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
East Lothian: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
