What moves the price
- Size of the glass — a small cloakroom window unit costs far less than a large picture window
- Glass type — toughened, obscure or triple-glazed units cost more to make than standard ones
- Frame material — timber frame repairs take longer than swapping a uPVC hinge or handle
- Height and access — a window above the ground floor may need ladders, a tower or two people
- Number of windows — further window repairs on the same visit cost less than the first
- Call-out minimum — many glaziers charge a minimum that covers the first window
Home repair prices in the UK are up 6% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Services for maintenance and repair, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical window repair would have cost about £150 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7DO →

How to pay less
- Replace every misted window unit in one visit, as later units cost less than the first
- Repair the window glass rather than the frame when the uPVC or timber is still sound
- Book window repairs before winter so draughts and condensation do not cost more
Before you book
- Count every misted window unit and note its rough size before asking for a quote
- Glass in doors and low windows needs to be safety glass, so check the replacement window unit is
- Clear sills and move furniture away from each window needing repair
- Ask whether the new glass unit carries a guarantee against misting
Window Repair cost: questions people ask
£55–£300 per window, typically about £145. A small glass unit is cheapest; a large or toughened unit on an upper floor costs most.
About an hour per window to fit. The new glass is usually measured on a first visit and made to order.
Not for new glass in an existing frame, hinges or seals. Replacing a whole window is controlled work, which needs a FENSA or CERTASS installer or building control approval.
If the frames are sound, replacing only the sealed units is much cheaper than new windows.
New windows, decorating around the frame and repairs to the wall or lintel are separate.
