uPVC repair in Merkinch without replacing anything
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. Whether it’s burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or scourers.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Merkinch. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we are called out for in Merkinch

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
