rotten sash window subframe

The bottom of the subframe to one of my sash windows is rotten. Is it possible to repair or will the whole thing have to be replaced?

    Every part of a sash window is repairable/replaceable. It will come down to the cost of repair v cost of replacement then how much you value keeping original windows.
    Repair and restoration of sash windows is popular at the moment. A Google search with provide plenty of companies advertising. But if you can, get a price from a local joiner as well.

    I think you are talking about your sill section being rotten. If this is the case you will need to find yourself a local odd job chippy as the cost should be no where near replacement. I would'nt be able to help you with a job so small myself but if you are struggling I will point you in the right direction. The last thing you want to do is replace just one window in your house - aside from anything it will look odd.
