About our uPVC repair in Methil
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We regularly repair doors & door panels, conservatory frames and white uPVC, and people most often call us about burns on sills and holes from removed fittings and alarms.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Methil. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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.
Repair or replace in Methil?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
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.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
