Your questions about uPVC repair in Cottown

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.

How we handle uPVC repair in Cottown

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. If you’re dealing with scratches from ladders and furniture and damage during building work, we can help, on window frames & sills, conservatory frames and doors & door panels alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Aberdeenshire. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Window frames & sills

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Cottown?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Chips and dents

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
