How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fernieside. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Fernieside
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
