Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Drumsturdy use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
uPVC repair at your home in Drumsturdy
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. If you’re dealing with damage during building work and holes from removed fittings and alarms, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Drumsturdy: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Do you cover the entire of Dundee?
All of Dundee, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Drumsturdy. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
We don’t add 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
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
