FAQs for Tranent
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can a burnt window sill be fixed?
Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
What to look for in a quote

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
