uPVC repair in Boleside, done in place
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We regularly repair doors & door panels, conservatory frames and window frames & sills, and people most often call us about scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work.
You’re 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. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Landlord and trade work in Boleside
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Boleside
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: 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:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
What affects the price in Boleside
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Boleside. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Boleside, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Boleside questions
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?
We cover the whole UK, including Boleside and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?
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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
