UPVC repair for St Leonard's homes

About our uPVC repair in St Leonard's

The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. We also do snagging repairs for builders. We regularly repair coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and white uPVC, and common reasons people get in touch are holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

What uPVC repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole window, door or sill
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in St Leonard's get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Leonard's

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in St Leonard's

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean the frame or panel.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
