Repairing versus replacing in Howes
Replacing the frame or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why us?
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No extra charge for your area

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DG12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Next we fill the damage.
- We smooth the repair.
- We colour-match the finish, including woodgrain effects.
- We blend the repair into the surrounding surface.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Howes
uPVC is hard-wearing, but it does get damaged: ladders, tools and building work scratch and chip it, candles and cigarettes burn sills, and removed fittings leave holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Scratches from ladders and furniture
- Damage during building work
- Holes from removed fittings and alarms
- Chips and dents
What your quote should include

- How long it needs to cure
- How to look after the finish
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Howes: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
