uPVC repair in Dunbar without replacing anything

We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We’re often asked to fix burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture, across conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Dunbar and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Questions from Dunbar

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

How much does uPVC repair cost in Dunbar?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the entire of East Lothian?

Across the UK, so Dunbar is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunbar

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Dunbar

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Look out for these signs:

  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
