When a repair isn’t the answer

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Garelochhead

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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

Quotes from your photos

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G84 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
