Why repair first
Replacing a frame isn't always the answer
Most companies quote a full frame replacement because it's the simplest job for them. That means removing the door, breaking out the old frame, and often chipping tiles or plaster. Then you pay for a new frame, the hacking and the touch-up.
In most homes we see, only the bottom of the frame is damaged, where it meets a wet floor. We rebuild that part and leave the rest alone. It's cheaper, quicker and there's no hacking.
If a frame really is too far gone, we'll tell you and quote a replacement instead. Read repair vs replace: how to decide.

Questions
Common questions
Can you repair just the rotten bottom of a door frame?
Yes. In most HDB and condo flats only the bottom 15–40 cm of the frame is rotten. We cut out the damaged section, splice in new timber, fill, sand and colour-match the varnish so the joint is hard to spot. It usually costs much less than replacing the full frame.
How do I get a price?
WhatsApp 2–3 photos to +65 9450 9801: the whole door, a close-up of the damage, and the floor where the frame meets it. We reply with a price range, then confirm on site.
Do you treat termites?
We repair and replace the timber. If termites are still active, have a licensed pest-control company treat the area first; we can recommend one and schedule our repair right after.
Do you need to remove the door?
For frame-bottom repair, usually not. For full varnishing we take the door off its hinges and lay it flat so the finish cures evenly, then rehang it.
How long does a job take?
A frame-bottom repair is usually done in one visit of 3–5 hours. Door varnishing takes 1–2 days because each coat needs time to dry before the next.
