uPVC repair in Polwarth, done in place
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Common call-outs are for holes from removed fittings and alarms and damage during building work, on white uPVC, conservatory frames and coloured and woodgrain uPVC.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

What we’re called out for in Polwarth
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Burns on sills
- Damage during building work
Before booking anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Polwarth

What else we do in Polwarth
Landlords, agents and businesses in Polwarth
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What affects the price in Polwarth
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
