DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Longstone
Do you come to Longstone?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Longstone. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Common problems we fix in Longstone
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Scratches from ladders and furniture

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Longstone as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire window, door or sill
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
When we would advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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.
Surfaces we repair
- White uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
