DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we handle uPVC repair in Dumbiedykes
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Whether it’s burns on sills and chips and dents, we can normally put it right, on conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills alike.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dumbiedykes. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Dumbiedykes get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Your questions about uPVC repair in Dumbiedykes
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
Across the UK, so Dumbiedykes is covered. Prices do not change with location.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Dumbiedykes.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
