uPVC repair in Musselburgh without replacing anything
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms, in white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
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 leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.

- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Musselburgh questions
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Musselburgh?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EH21 postcode.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Which areas do you work in?
All of East Lothian, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
