Repairing versus replacing in Braemar
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Braemar
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work

What else we do in Braemar
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
