DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
uPVC repair in Skirling without replacing anything
The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Whether it’s chips and dents and damage during building work, we can help, on conservatory frames, doors & door panels and window frames & sills alike.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Skirling and across South Lanarkshire. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What we are called out for in Skirling
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Burns on sills
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work

Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Skirling, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Window frames & sills

Repair or replace in Skirling?

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
