- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- The repair is sanded smooth.

- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.

Advice
How we handle uPVC repair in Tain
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We work on coloured and woodgrain uPVC, doors & door panels and white uPVC, and the jobs we see most are chips and dents and burns on sills.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Do not use solvents or scourers.

Repairing versus replacing in Tain
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Our uPVC repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What uPVC repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
