Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

FAQs for Lochaline

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Argyll and Bute.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you work in Lochaline?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Lochaline and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochaline

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Argyll and Bute and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

How to compare quotes

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Getting a price

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Lochaline. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
