On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We clean the frame or panel.
- Next we fill the damage.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

What affects the price in South Portobello
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to South Portobello. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in South Portobello get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What else we do in South Portobello
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in South Portobello
- Doors & door panels
- Window frames & sills

Why repair rather than replace?
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: 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.
