Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair window frames & sills, conservatory frames and white uPVC, and people most frequently call us about chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Gorthleck

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Gorthleck. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to compare quotes

Gorthleck: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?
