The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on doors & door panels, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and people most frequently call us about chips and dents and burns on sills.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Your questions about uPVC repair in Craigentinny
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work in Craigentinny?
We do. We send a technician to Craigentinny for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repairing versus replacing in Craigentinny
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
