uPVC repair in Old Pentland, done in place

We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, conservatory frames and doors & door panels, and people most often call us about burns on sills and scratches from ladders and furniture.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

When to call us in Old Pentland

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Pentland

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Pentland use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Old Pentland

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

What uPVC repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
