About our uPVC repair in Porthgwidden
We fill and refinish the damage so it blends into the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We also do snagging repairs for builders. If you are dealing with chips and dents and holes from removed fittings and alarms, we can generally put it right, on window frames & sills, white uPVC and conservatory frames alike.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Failed or misted double glazing units
- Broken locks, hinges or mechanisms
- Frames that are warped or out of square
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Window frames & sills
- Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
- White uPVC
- Conservatory frames
- Doors & door panels
Repairing versus replacing in Porthgwidden
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Porthgwidden. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Porthgwidden. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One picture of the whole window, door or sill
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
