Common questions in Gilmerton
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work in Gilmerton?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gilmerton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Related advice
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What affects the price in Gilmerton
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your PH7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Gilmerton
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
