uPVC repair in Ballater without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We are often asked to fix scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills, across coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and window frames & sills.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Questions from Ballater

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Related advice

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

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

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
