Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Smailholm. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
uPVC repair in Smailholm, done in place
We also do snagging repairs for builders. We fill and refinish the damage to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Common call-outs are for burns on sills and holes from removed fittings and alarms, in coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and white uPVC.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Advice
Questions from Smailholm
Do you come to Smailholm?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Smailholm and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 you book.

More services for Smailholm
Do you need uPVC repair in Smailholm?
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.
Common reasons people in Smailholm contact us include:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
Questions to ask before you book
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
