About our uPVC repair in Sound
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair white uPVC, doors & door panels and conservatory frames, and the jobs we see most are chips and dents and burns on sills.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need uPVC repair in Sound?
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.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Burns on sills
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
How to prepare
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Questions from Sound
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Repairing versus replacing in Sound
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What affects the price in Sound
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your ZE1 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
