What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

uPVC repair at your home in Porthtowan

Builders and developers use us for snagging repairs too. The damage is filled and refinished to match the frame, including woodgrain finishes. We regularly repair coloured and woodgrain uPVC, window frames & sills and white uPVC, and common reasons people contact us are scratches from ladders and furniture and holes from removed fittings and alarms.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Avoid solvents and abrasive cleaners.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?

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 often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Porthtowan questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can a burnt window sill be fixed?

Yes. The burn is filled and refinished to match.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire window, door or sill

Most clients in Porthtowan get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repairing versus replacing in Porthtowan

Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
