Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Colinton Mains
What does uPVC repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your EH13 postcode.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Edinburgh. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you need uPVC repair in Colinton Mains?
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Colinton Mains. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you’re in Colinton Mains and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
