What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

What affects the price in Plain-an-Gwarry

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Plain-an-Gwarry. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Plain-an-Gwarry

A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common questions in Plain-an-Gwarry

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
