About our uPVC repair in Charlestown
The damage is filled and refinished so it blends into the frame, woodgrain finishes included. Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. Our technicians work on window frames & sills, coloured and woodgrain uPVC and conservatory frames, and common reasons people get in touch are scratches from ladders and furniture and burns on sills.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

Landlord and trade work in Charlestown
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Window frames & sills
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames

- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work

Common questions in Charlestown
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
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.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you match woodgrain uPVC?
Yes. We recreate the colour and grain by hand.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
