About our uPVC repair in Burdiehouse
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We are frequently asked to fix scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms, on window frames & sills, white uPVC and doors & door panels.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns 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 any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Burdiehouse
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Burdiehouse
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we are called out for in Burdiehouse
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
What your quote should include
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
