UPVC repair near Willowbrae

uPVC repair in Willowbrae without replacing anything

The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our repair technicians work on white uPVC, doors & door panels and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are chips and dents and burns on sills.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Edinburgh. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Failed or misted double glazing units
  • Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
  • Frames that are warped or out of square

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Conservatory frames
  • Window frames & sills
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • White uPVC
  • Doors & door panels

What we’re called out for in Willowbrae

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Burns on sills
  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Chips and dents
  • Damage during building work

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Your questions about uPVC repair in Willowbrae

What does uPVC repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole window, door or sill and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What affects the price in Willowbrae

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
