Repair or replace: which is better?

A new window, door 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Take a look at our pricing.

What affects the price in Bughtlin

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Bughtlin. The price reflects:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Bughtlin, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Bughtlin: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by cleaning the frame.
  2. We fill scratches, chips and holes.
  3. We sand the repair smooth.
  4. The finish is colour-matched, woodgrain included.
  5. The repair is blended into the surface around it.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

What we’re called out for in Bughtlin

uPVC is tough but not indestructible: ladders and building work leave scratches and chips, candles and cigarettes mark sills, and removed fittings leave holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Holes from removed fittings and alarms
  • Damage during building work
  • Chips and dents
  • Burns on sills

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
