About our uPVC repair in Riddrie
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. We’re often asked to fix holes from removed fittings and alarms and burns on sills, in coloured and woodgrain uPVC, white uPVC and doors & door panels.
Peace of mind is built in: 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.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your G33 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Riddrie
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Riddrie
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace in Riddrie?
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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 uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
