How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What else we do in Hamister
What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in Hamister
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture

- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

For landlords and businesses
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.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we cannot put right
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
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. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

FAQs for Hamister
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you cover the entire of the Shetland Islands?
All of the Shetland Islands, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
