Should you replace it?
A new window, door 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. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Your questions about uPVC repair in Stenhouse
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Burns on sills

How we price uPVC repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Stenhouse. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
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 photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We sand the repair smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Stenhouse
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
