Is it worth repairing double glazing?

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.

Can condensation or fogging between double glazing be fixed?

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.

Can double glazing be repaired?

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

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.

How long should double glazing last before it needs repair?
