Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chesser

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Do you need uPVC repair in Chesser?

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents

Your questions about uPVC repair in Chesser

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

All of Edinburgh, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How do I get a price for uPVC repair in Chesser?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Chesser

  • Conservatory frames
  • Window frames & sills
  • Doors & door panels
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • White uPVC

What affects the price in Chesser

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

There’s 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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
