How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
If you are in Pathhead and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EH37 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For anyone letting property in or around Pathhead, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
