What affects the price in Poltimore
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the window, door or sill, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Poltimore
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. A repair leaves the unit in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
