Your questions about uPVC repair in Ruchill
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Ruchill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by cleaning the frame.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire window, door or sill, we can price the job.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What affects the price in Ruchill
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ruchill. The price comes down to:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Ruchill
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What we are called out for in Ruchill
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Chips and dents
Comparing quotes
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
