uPVC Repair in Colinton
We travel to Colinton for scratch, chip, burn and hole repairs to uPVC windows, doors and sills. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. 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.
How we handle uPVC repair in Colinton
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Whether it’s chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

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. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
