South Tawton: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you cover South Tawton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to South Tawton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Repair or replace in South Tawton?
A new window, door or sill is a much bigger job, and it may not match the rest after years of weathering. Repairing the damage keeps the original. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for South Tawton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire window, door or sill
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Tawton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the frame or panel is cleaned.
- Scratches, chips and holes are filled.
- We smooth the repair.
- We match the colour, including woodgrain finishes.
- Finally we blend it into the rest of the frame.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Most customers in South Tawton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
