Question 1

Can double glazing be repaired?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. From blown units to stiff hinges and failed seals, a lot of common double glazing problems can be fixed without a full replacement. A tradesperson can usually tell you within a quick inspection whether repair or replacement makes more sense.

Question 2

Can condensation or fogging between double glazing be fixed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Fogging or misting between the panes is caused by a broken seal that's let moisture into the gap, and in most cases the glass unit can be swapped out on its own without replacing the whole frame. [Request a quote](https://www.checkatrade.com/post-a-job) to get a repair sorted.

Question 3

Can condensation between double glazing be fixed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A tradesperson can usually replace just the misted glass unit rather than the whole window, without needing to replace the whole frame. [Request a quote](https://www.checkatrade.com/post-a-job) to get started.

Question 4

Can I replace just one pane in a double glazed window?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If only one pane is blown or cracked, many glaziers can replace just that glass unit without touching the frame. It’s a cost-effective fix that restores performance without the faff of a full replacement.

Question 5

How do I know if my double glazing is blown?

Accepted Answer

Look for misting or condensation trapped between the panes. It’s a sign the seal has failed and the insulating gas has escaped.

__Other clues:__

- The window feels colder than it should
- You’re getting more noise from outside

Question 6

Is it worth repairing double glazing?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. If the frame is sound and the damage is limited to the glass unit or seals, a repair is usually far cheaper than a full window replacement. It's only worth considering a full replacement if the frame itself is warped, rotten, or beyond economical repair.

Question 7

How much does window replacement cost?

Accepted Answer

The exact cost will depend on several factors, including the size, style, material, and glazing type.

As a rough guide, here are some average costs for the supply and installation of a new window in the UK:

-   Casement windows – **£500**    
-   Sash windows – **£1,000**    
-   Sliding windows – **£700**    
-   Tilt and turn windows – **£700**    
-   Bay windows – **£2,500**    
-   Bow windows – **£3,000**
    
It’s worth noting that these are estimated average costs, and actual prices may vary.

**Factors affecting the cost of window replacement**

To get a more accurate price for replacing your window(s), you’ll want to consider the following factors:

-   Size of the window(s) – Larger windows generally cost more
    
-   Type of glazing – Double or triple glazing is more expensive than single glazing
    
-   Window style – Bay windows and other complex styles cost more than standard windows
    
-   Quality and type of materials – Higher-quality windows often come with a higher price tag and different materials, like uPVC and timber, have varying costs
    
-   Number of windows – The more windows you need, the higher the overall cost
    
-   Location – Labour costs often vary depending on where you live, e.g. London and the South East are typically more expensive than other parts of the country
