If you live in Glasgow, whose Riverside Museum opened in 2011, and a chipped or dented uPVC window frame is drawing your eye, the first question is which part is damaged. A cosmetic frame repair enquiry is different from asking someone to repair glass or a window that will not open properly.

Identify the frame, not just the window
A window photograph can include the outer frame, opening sash, glass, glazing beads, seals and sill. Point out the exact area with words in your enquiry: for example, a small chip on the room-facing frame beside the handle. That avoids confusing a surface defect with an operational problem.
MHrepairs considers suitable localised chips, cracks and dents in the frame surface. We do not repair glass. A cosmetic assessment is not an inspection of the glazing, hinges, locks, weather seals or window installation.
What changes the type of enquiry?
- Chipped frame face: send the size, material if known and clear photographs.
- Cracked or misted glass: seek an appropriate glazing specialist; this is not frame cosmetic work.
- A sash that sticks or does not close: explain the operational fault to a suitable window repair specialist.
- A crack with movement or distortion: do not assume filling the visible line will address the cause.
If more than one problem exists, describe both. Do not force an opening sash or remove beads, seals or fittings to take pictures.
Photograph chips and dents safely
Take one close-up in ordinary daylight and one wider image showing the affected frame section. Include approximate dimensions and say whether the damage is inside or outside. Only photograph areas you can reach safely; do not lean out of a window or climb for an enquiry photo.
For several marks, label them A, B and C in your message and match each to a photograph. A wide image helps us understand whether the marks are on one frame or several separate windows.
What finish should you expect?
White, coloured and woodgrain-effect surfaces need different consideration. Texture, sheen and age can affect the appearance of a local repair. We can discuss suitability and the aim of reducing visual impact, but cannot promise an invisible result or restore a window’s security or weather performance through cosmetic work.
Request a Glasgow assessment
Send your Glasgow postcode, damage description and photos through the enquiry form. MHrepairs is based in Kilsyth, not at a Glasgow branch; suitability, access and travel arrangements are assessed before a visit is agreed.
Can you repair the glass as well? No. This enquiry route is for cosmetic frame damage, not glazing. For related sill enquiries, see our Glasgow uPVC sill guide.
