What else we do in Innerleithen
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Innerleithen
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- White uPVC
What we’re called out for in Innerleithen
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Damage during building work
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
Repair or replace in Innerleithen?
A new window, door 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. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- 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
- Have a window or extractor fan available
