Replacing broken window pane

colazombie

Hi

Just wondering if anyone could give me a ball park figure for getting someone out to replace broken window pane.
Its a double glazed bathroom window, only outer pane smashed. Its approx 1m length by 0.5m height.
Gonna ring around for quotes this week, but just wondered if anyone knew what may be reasonable?

Or maybe i could buy the glass and do it myself to keep costs down?

You can't replace the 'outer pane' in a sealed double glazed unit, the sealed unit must be replaced. You can certainly order the unit and replace it yourself if you are competent.

ok thanks for the info. Not sure i am up to the task after looking at the window, may have to leave it to the professionals

a small dg unit should cost about 50 quid. simple enough to fit.
probalby cost you another 50 quid for a man to fit it.

If the seals are on the inside you want even have to go up a ladder, so if you can get a new unit the job want be hard.

Thanks for the info
I've seen some videos on youtube so I may buy the unit and see if the boyf can have a go of fitting it for me
