About our uPVC repair in Lerwick

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. If you’re dealing with damage during building work and chips and dents, we can normally put it right, on conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Before and after: a chipped white edge filled and refinished

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

The process

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

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

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

We’d 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we are called out for in Lerwick

  • Burns on sills
  • Damage during building work

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about uPVC repair in Lerwick

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you cover Lerwick?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Lerwick for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How we price uPVC repair

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Lerwick and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
