How uPVC repair works in the Scottish Borders
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our repair technicians work on doors & door panels, conservatory frames and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture.
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Cost
Our uPVC repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for the Scottish Borders. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Near you in Galashiels
Our customers here include homes close to Galashiels, Public House and Galashiels Academy and the streets around them. Galashiels has its own railway station: Galashiels station. Nearby you’ll also find Borders General Hospital (2.7 miles south-east) and Castle Holydean (4.4 miles south-east). The countryside around Galashiels includes Eildon Mid Hill.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, 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
- When it can be used again

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What aftercare is recommended
Landlords, agents and businesses in the Scottish Borders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in the Scottish Borders use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Signs you need uPVC repair
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
FAQs for the Scottish Borders
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, and that includes the Scottish Borders. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across the Scottish Borders.
Do you come to the Scottish Borders?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to the Scottish Borders. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
