UPVC repair near Leith

What uPVC repair costs

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

uPVC repair in Leith, done in place

We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Common call-outs are for chips and dents and scratches from ladders and furniture, across window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Leith questions

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Leith

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Leith use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

When to call us in Leith

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: 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:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Burns on sills

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
