DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle uPVC repair in Dalton
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our technicians work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, white uPVC and doors & door panels, and common reasons people contact us are damage during building work and chips and dents.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What affects the price in Dalton
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
For a price in Dalton, 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.
Your questions about uPVC repair in Dalton
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you cover the entire of South Lanarkshire?
We work UK-wide, so Dalton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Dalton.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dalton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.
