Price to repair misted double glazing window

Sirovai

Hi

I'm looking for what's a sensible price to repair a misted double glazed window. I have a bay window area composed of 5 windows, they're older than 10 years.

One window is around 157cm high and 54cm wide including frame. No stained glass just all pane. I want all five repaired.

I'm just looking for a rough ballpark figure so I know if I'm being ripped off. One glazier mentioned the glass would have to be replaced entirely and can't be cleaned, that right?

Thanks

Problem with just cleaning you end up with a water mark on the glass, easier and cheaper to just replace the steamed up units. The cheapest option is to ask a glaziers for a quote they are a lot cheaper than double glazed window companies.

So much you reckon I'm looking at to replace them all?

Anywhere from about £30 per pane depending on quantity and size. You'd probably be looking at somewhere in the order of £150 to 300.

That was around what I was thinking. Thanks very much.

As above. The seals have failed, so all you can do is replace the units, not repair them.

Just paid £70 for replacement of a similar sized unit i.e one pane. Probably a discount with labour if getting all of them done at the same time so maybe £300-350? This is pretty standard price we have found.

I've also been quoted approx £70 per pane. Not much more for the slightly larger ones as it's the work to make them that costs I suppose. I'm paying £320 for 4 new units with fitting included.

So got a quote from a FENSA registered local joinery company. £300. The glass needed to be safety glass due to being within a certain height from the floor. So that's £60 a unit. Quite happy.
