DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Dores and the surrounding area
Dores is about 7 miles south-west of Inverness, in Highland. Jobs in Dores are booked in like any other job: a fixed quote from pictures, then a visit to do the work. We cover all 253 towns and villages across Highland, from the larger towns to small villages.
We work across IV2 and the streets around it. Whether you live on Mill Croft and Torr Gardens or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Neighbouring places we cover include Torness (5 miles south), Farr (6 miles east), Slackbuie (6 miles north-east), Lochardil (6 miles north-east) and Leachkin (6 miles north). Further out, we also cover Inverness (7 miles north-east), Cradlehall (10 miles north-east), Merkinch (8 miles north-east), Dingwall (15 miles north), Hilton (7 miles north-east) and Crown (8 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dores. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Advice
Signs you need uPVC repair in Dores
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
Comparing quotes
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Why repair rather than replace?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Dores questions
Do you work in Dores?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dores. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Highland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
