What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Parkhead. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
About our uPVC repair in Parkhead
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We work on doors & door panels, window frames & sills and coloured and woodgrain uPVC, and common reasons people get in touch are chips and dents and burns on sills.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What else we do in Parkhead
Landlord and trade work in Parkhead
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What we are called out for in Parkhead
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- What preparation is included
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Questions from Parkhead
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Edinburgh.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
