Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Doors & door panels
  • Conservatory frames
  • Window frames & sills
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • White uPVC

What we’re called out for in Hillhead

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work

Before booking anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
