Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Townstal: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you cover the entire of Devon?

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole window, door or sill

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we’re called out for in Townstal

uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and old fittings leave holes.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Burns on sills
  • Chips and dents
  • Scratches from ladders and furniture

Comparing quotes

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Window frames & sills
  • Coloured and woodgrain uPVC
  • Doors & door panels
  • White uPVC
  • Conservatory frames

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the frame or panel is cleaned.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. The repair is sanded smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole window, door or sill, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
