CONDENSATION
A sure fire sign of a failed double glazing unit. Condensation on the inside or within your window panes means that your double glazed unit is not performing to the required standard.
BROKEN GLASS
If the glass in your double glazed unit has been smashed, cracked or shattered we can carefully remove it and replace with a new glass pane.
FAULTY SEALS
Faulty seals reduce a window’s insulating capacity. We can remove any old seals and replace with new weather tight seals to insulate your home.
DAMAGED LOCKS
When your locks stick it can be frustrating and inconvenient. If left untreated, they can eventually break and become a security risk.
BROKEN FRAMES
When your window frame is broken: cracked, warped, faded or chipped, we’ll endeavour to repair it. If it’s not possible to repair we can install a new window unit.
ADDITIONAL SERVICES
Plastic Surgery are accredited glaziers. Should your glass-sealed units have blown and become misty between the panes, we are able to reglaze without replacing the window.
We can replace your glazing with like-for-like or upgrade to the latest heat-saving units. We can also provide new glass units that incorporate blinds within the panes (integrated blinds).
And if you’ve had the misfortune of a stray stone cracking your window while mowing the garden, we’re here to fix it or give you an insurance quote.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common issues that require window repairs include broken glass, damaged frames, faulty hardware, and issues with the window seal.
Yes, double glazing can be repaired. Common issues with double glazing include condensation between the panes, leaks, and damaged seals.
The cost of window repair will depend on the extent of the damage and the type of repair required. Minor repairs such as replacing a single pane of glass may cost as little as £50, while more extensive repairs such as replacing a frame or repairing a seal can cost several hundred pounds.
This will depend on the extent of the damage and the age of the window. If the damage is minor and the window is relatively new, repair may be the best option. However, if the window is old or extensively damaged, replacement may be necessary.
The time it takes to repair a window will depend on the extent of the damage and the availability of replacement parts. Minor repairs such as replacing a single pane of glass may be completed in a few hours, while more extensive repairs may take several days.
Repairing double glazing can help to improve the energy efficiency of your home by reducing heat loss and reducing your energy bills. It can also improve the appearance and value of your property.
Yes, window seal repairs can often be done on-site. A professional repair technician will typically assess the extent of the damage and determine whether the seal can be repaired or needs to be replaced.
It is recommended to have your windows inspected for repairs at least once a year. This can help to identify any issues early on and prevent more extensive damage from occurring.
Yes, a blown window can usually be repaired. This type of repair is typically carried out by Plastic Doctor specialists and involves replacing the sealant between the panes. This will help to improve the efficiency of your windows and reduce heat loss.
A misty window can usually be repaired by replacing the sealant between the panes and ensuring there are no gaps or cracks. This is a job that should only be done by an experienced professional such as Plastic Doctor, who specialise in window repair services. How do I know if my windows need repairs?
To stop cold air coming through your drafty windows, you can try the following:
- Seal gaps and cracks: Check the edges of your windows for any gaps or cracks. Use draught-proofing strips, sealant, or foam filler to block these. This is effective for stopping draughts.
- Install window insulation film: Apply a clear plastic film to your windows. These kits are inexpensive, simple to use, and add a layer of insulation to reduce cold air entering.
- Use thermal curtains or blinds: Fit thick, thermal-lined curtains or blinds. These create a barrier to keep cold air out and warm air in.
- Add draught excluders: Place draught excluders or rolled-up towels along the bottom edges of your windows to stop airflow.
- Check and repair window seals: Make sure the seals around the glass panes are intact. Replace any that are damaged or worn.
- Upgrade to double or triple glazing: If you have single-glazed windows, upgrading to double or triple glazing can improve insulation and reduce draughts.
- Apply temporary sealant or tape: For a quick solution, use removable sealant or weatherproof tape to cover any gaps around the edges.
- Install secondary glazing: Adding secondary glazing provides an extra layer of insulation over your existing windows.
Your double-glazed windows may be draughty because of issues like damaged seals, poorly fitted frames, or wear and tear over time. Gaps in the frame or around the edges of the glass can let air in, reducing insulation. Check for visible damage, gaps, or condensation inside the panes, as these are common signs of problems.
