DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
About our uPVC repair in Penzance
Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, woodgrain finishes included. If you are dealing with scratches from ladders and furniture and chips and dents, we can help.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Warm soapy water and a soft cloth are all it needs. Don’t use solvents or scourers.

What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- We fill scratches, chips and holes.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- The repair is blended into the surface around it.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Penzance: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do you come to Penzance?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Penzance. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a burn on a uPVC sill?
Yes. We fill and refinish the burnt area to match.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What affects the price in Penzance
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Penzance, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Landlord and trade work in Penzance
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
If you manage property in Penzance, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Should you replace it?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
