UPVC repair in Edinburgh Waterfront

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

uPVC repair in Edinburgh Waterfront without replacing anything

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our technicians work on doors & door panels, window frames & sills and conservatory frames, and common reasons people contact us are chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Repair or replace in Edinburgh Waterfront?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Edinburgh Waterfront

  • White uPVC
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Window frames & sills
  • Conservatory frames
  • Doors & door panels

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
