uPVC repair in Edinburgh, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms, across conservatory frames, doors & door panels and white uPVC.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Edinburgh
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Edinburgh, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we’re called out for in Edinburgh
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
