uPVC "filler"

Sep 23, 2011 5 Replies

The nitwit alarm "engineer" has made a pigs ear of refitting the alarm sensor & magnet to our new uPVC windows in the utility room - they are neither straight, nor parallel. This is annoying my wife, who in turn annoys me...



I can easily refit them, but what do I do about the the screw holes the aforementioned nitwit has drilled? I'd get the alarm people back, but I really, really, really don't want to go through the ball-ache of finding another alarm company again.



Is there some way of filling them? Bear in mind I only want to move them a couple of mm.


Not easy to match that colour/texture. A plastic screw cap maybe?

I asked a similar question a while ago and the suggestion was to look for white fibreglass filler either at a motor factor or a ship's chandler. One of those jobs I haven't got around to yet, though, so if you find something suitable, please report back.

I've used 'Milliput'* white epoxy putty to fill big holes in a uPVC door; works OK but tends to go slightly yellow after some months exposure.
