For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
For a price in Craigmillar, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Craigmillar: your questions answered
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Craigmillar.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your photos
- We leave the room as we found it
- One visit for most repairs
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
