uPVC Repair for Granton homes
Scratch, chip, burn and hole repairs to uPVC windows, doors and sills at your home in Granton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we handle uPVC repair in Granton
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Our repair technicians work on conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and window frames & sills, and common reasons people get in touch are burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Granton and across Edinburgh. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price

What we are called out for in Granton
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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Comparing quotes
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Repairing versus replacing in Granton
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
