Glass replacement in Edinburgh: Homeowners vs renters

For homeowners

If you own your home, it’s your responsibility to arrange window glass replacement in Edinburgh. Ensure your installer complies with building regulations (particularly around energy efficiency). Keep any receipts and certificates - you may need them if you sell your property.

For renters

If you’re renting, the responsibility depends on the cause. Landlords are typically responsible for replacing windows damaged by wear and tear. If damage was accidental, you may need to contribute. Always report the issue to your landlord or letting agent straight away, and get their approval before booking glass replacement services in Edinburgh.

Emergency glass replacement in Edinburgh

A broken window isn’t something you can always leave until morning. Emergency services in Edinburgh cover urgent issues like:

  • Smashed windows after a break-in
  • Large cracks making the window unsafe
  • Broken glass in doors or patio panes
  • Glazing that leaves your home exposed to weather

Many companies offer 24/7 emergency window glass replacement in Edinburgh, often starting with boarding-up for safety before full replacement. Find emergency glass replacement services in Edinburgh with our free search tool.

  • How much does window glass replacement cost in Edinburgh?

    On average, replacing a single glass pane costs £55 - £300 (supply and fit).

    Double glazed units cost more, starting at £100, while patio door glass replacement can be £200 - £600 depending on size and type.

  • What is the cost of double glazed window glass replacement?

    Replacing a double glazed unit typically costs £100 - £400 per window, depending on pane size and thickness.

  • Is double glazing glass replacement cheaper than a full window replacement?

    Yes, in most cases. Replacing just the glass costs from £100, whereas a full new window installation can range from £300 - £800.

  • Can I repair broken window glass myself?

    Temporary fixes like boarding up or using tape can help in an emergency. But for safety and compliance, we recommend hiring a glazier for permanent window glass replacement.

  • How much does patio door glass replacement cost?

    Patio door glass typically costs £200 - £600 to replace, depending on whether it’s single, double, or triple glazing.

  • Where can I find glass replacement near me?

    You can search the Checkatrade directory for checked glaziers covering your local area, or post a job and let tradespeople contact you directly.

  • How long does it take to replace a window glass pane?

    Most single pane replacements take 1 - 2 hours. Double glazing can take 2 - 3 hours. Larger jobs, like patio doors, may take half a day.

  • Can you replace just one pane of glass in a window?

    Yes. If the frame is in good condition, a glazier can replace just the damaged pane. This is usually cheaper and quicker than a full window replacement.

  • Do I need FENSA approval for window glass replacement?

    If you’re only replacing the glass (not the whole frame), you don’t usually need a FENSA certificate. Full window installations, however, must comply with building regulations, so check your installer’s credentials.

  • Is emergency window glass replacement more expensive?

    Yes, emergency call-outs often cost more because of the urgency and out-of-hours work.

    Boarding up for safety can start from £100, with full emergency window glass replacement in Edinburgh arranged afterwards.

  • What’s the difference between glass replacement and window replacement?

    Glass replacement: Just the pane is replaced, leaving the existing frame.

    Window replacement: The entire unit (glass + frame) is removed and a new one fitted.

    If your frames are still solid, glass replacement is usually the more affordable option.

  • Can I get same-day window glass replacement near me?

    In many cases, yes. Some glaziers in Edinburgh offer emergency, 24 hour, or same-day services, especially for urgent issues like smashed windows or broken door glass replacement.

    Availability will depend on the type and size of glass needed. Use Checkatrade's free search tool to find same-day glass replacement services covering your local area.
