Advice
Hightae: your questions answered
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Hightae. Prices do not change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work in Hightae?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hightae and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame 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. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hightae. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
When to call us in Hightae

- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
