FAQs for Old Town
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?
Across the UK, and that includes Old Town. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting 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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Old Town
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
