About our uPVC repair in Glenlochar
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our technicians work on conservatory frames, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and the jobs we see most are chips and dents and damage during building work.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Glenlochar
A new window, door 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Glenlochar
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Common problems we fix in Glenlochar
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
What to look for in a quote
- What prep work is covered

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
