What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Scottish Borders questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What affects the price in Scottish Borders
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
