Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Common questions in Gretna
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you come to Gretna?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Gretna. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Gretna and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DG16 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Signs you need uPVC repair in Gretna
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Burns on sills
Questions to ask before booking
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
