DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
About our uPVC repair in Merchiston
We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our repair technicians work on white uPVC, conservatory frames and doors & door panels, and people most frequently call us about scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What we do, step by step

- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Landlord and trade work in Merchiston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Merchiston: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Merchiston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Merchiston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Merchiston. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Merchiston. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
