How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Drem. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

- Damage during building work

Drem: your questions answered
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you cover the entire of East Lothian?
All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Landlord and trade work in Drem
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What else we do in Drem
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
