About our uPVC repair in Rothesay
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We’re often asked to fix scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills, on doors & door panels, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Rothesay and across Argyll and Bute. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Rothesay. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Rothesay
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Rothesay
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Common questions in Rothesay
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Rothesay.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Look out for any of the following:
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
What to look for in a quote
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- Whether they match the colour on site
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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.

The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, 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
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
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, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
