What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
East Kilbride questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
When to call us in East Kilbride
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
What to look for in a quote
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in East Kilbride, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Kilbride use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G74 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
