uPVC repair at your home in Torphin
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We work on conservatory frames, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and white uPVC, and the jobs we see most are burns on sills and damage during building work.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Torphin questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What uPVC repair costs
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
If you manage property in Torphin, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- The finish is colour matched, woodgrain included.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
Related advice
When to call us in Torphin
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage during building work
- Burns on sills
- Chips and dents
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Comparing quotes
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- White uPVC
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- Doors & door panels
- Conservatory frames
- Window frames & sills
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- One price list for the entire UK
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
