What we are called out for in Gartcosh

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your G69 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. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
