DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
If you manage property in Ratho Station, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
