When to call us in Pontcanna
uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and old fittings leave holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Chips and dents
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What prep work is covered
- Aftercare advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pontcanna
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repairing versus replacing in Pontcanna
A new window, door or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
