What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dolphinton. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
What we’re called out for in Dolphinton
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:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Make sure the area is dry
Getting a price

Advice
Common questions in Dolphinton
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the whole of the Scottish Borders?
All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Repairing versus replacing in Dolphinton
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
What you get with us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
