uPVC window & door repair in Cathkin, South Lanarkshire
Damaged window, door or sill in Cathkin? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 price, not a guess.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame 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. Prices start 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.

The whole UK, including all of South Lanarkshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Cathkin?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach

- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
