uPVC Repair for Garnethill homes
We travel to Garnethill for scratch, chip, burn and hole repairs to uPVC windows, doors and sills. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
How we handle uPVC repair in Garnethill
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Whether it’s burns on sills and damage during building work, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Glasgow. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your G3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Garnethill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you work in Garnethill?
We do. We send a technician to Garnethill for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we’re called out for in Garnethill
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Before you book anyone
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
How the visit 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 any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
