DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing the frame or sill costs far more, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage leaves the unit in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Newcraighall: your questions answered
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newcraighall use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newcraighall. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
