How we handle uPVC repair in Gwinear Downs
We also do snagging repairs for builders. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We work on conservatory frames, white uPVC and window frames & sills, and the jobs we see most are holes from removed fittings and alarms and scratches from ladders and furniture.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gwinear Downs and across Cornwall. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR27 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Gwinear Downs
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gwinear Downs as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Gwinear Downs
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Gwinear Downs and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
How much does uPVC repair cost in Gwinear Downs?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your TR27 postcode.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you repair coloured uPVC?
Yes. Colour and grain are matched by hand.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
