UPVC repair for Melrose homes

uPVC repair at your home in Melrose

We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Our repair technicians work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and white uPVC, and the jobs we see most are holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Next we fill the damage.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Conservatory frames

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TD6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Melrose and the surrounding area

Melrose is about 3 miles east of Galashiels, in the Scottish Borders. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, plus businesses and rented homes. Melrose is one of 89 towns and villages in the Scottish Borders where we work. Our jobs stretch from Melrose to Edinburgh (about 30 miles away).

Our visits in TD6 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. We regularly work on streets such as High Street, Market Square and St Dunstan's Park and the roads around them. Melrose is on the B6359 and B6361, so it’s easy for us to reach. We also travel to Gattonside (1 mile north), Darnick (1 mile west), Newstead (1 mile east), Tweedbank (2 miles west) and Bowden (2 miles south). Further out, we also cover Galashiels (3 miles west), Hawick (12 miles south), Kelso (11 miles east), Selkirk (6 miles south-west), Jedburgh (11 miles south-east) and Wilton (12 miles south).

What’s near Melrose

In Melrose, that means homes near Melrose and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Tweedbank station, about 1.5 miles west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Commendators House Museum (under half a mile east) and Castle Holydean (2.4 miles south). Not far away are Eildon Hill North and Bemersyde Moss.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Melrose: your questions answered

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you match woodgrain uPVC?

Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

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

What does uPVC repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What we’re called out for in Melrose

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage during building work
  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Melrose, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Should you replace it?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Melrose customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
