Gorgie: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Related advice

What we’re called out for in Gorgie

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

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

How we price uPVC repair

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Gorgie?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it
