How we price uPVC repair
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Thornliebank. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in Thornliebank get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll 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 make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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 we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
- Window frames & sills
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
What we’re called out for in Thornliebank
