Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. We smooth the repair.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need uPVC repair in Sandwick

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Chips and dents
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture
  • Damage during building work

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

A new window, door or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits 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 before booking.

What we work on

  • Window frames & sills
  • White uPVC

Sandwick questions

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
