uPVC repair in Penninghame, done in place
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and doors & door panels, and common reasons people contact us are holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work.
We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

Questions from Penninghame
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Penninghame included. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What affects the price in Penninghame
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Penninghame, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Landlord and trade work in Penninghame
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
