Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Niddrie Mains. What changes the price is:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
uPVC repair in Niddrie Mains without replacing anything
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. If you are dealing with chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms, we can typically put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Questions from Niddrie Mains
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we are called out for in Niddrie Mains
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
- What protection goes down before work starts

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame 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. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
