Trusted uPVC repair in Dalkeith

uPVC repair in Dalkeith without replacing anything

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Common call-outs are for holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, on doors & door panels, window frames & sills and white uPVC.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from Dalkeith

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the entire of Midlothian?

Everywhere in the UK, Dalkeith included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repair or replace in Dalkeith?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common problems we fix in Dalkeith

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Dalkeith

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Conservatory frames
  • White uPVC
  • Doors & door panels
  • Window frames & sills
