I think I have solved it.

From what I understand for a taxonomy the value mst be the ID rather than the name or slug or whatever, so since I need to use the name I need to convert that to the ID. I found that I could do this using get_term_by();

This is the portion of code I needed to change:

   // Get term by name 'windows' in custom taxonomy 'product-types'.
    $termId = get_term_by( 'name', 'windows', 'product-types' );
    
    // compose our query arguements
    $args = array(
        'post_type'     => 'colourswatch',
        'meta_query'    => array(
            array(
                'key'       => 'colour_swatch_$_availability', // repeater_$_subfield
                'value'     => $termId->term_id, // translate the term name into its ID
                'compare'   => 'LIKE'
            )
        )
    );
