Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

What affects the price in Gyllyngvase
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR11 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- The repair is sanded smooth.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.

Advice
FAQs for Gyllyngvase
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
What does uPVC repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and new uPVC may not match the weathered frames around it. A repair leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
