uPVC Windows: Replace or Repair?

Not every window problem needs a new window. Here's how to tell a repair from a replacement.

What's usually a repair

A failed sealed unit (misting between panes), worn gaskets, a dropped sash, or stiff hardware are usually repairs. If the frame itself is sound, the window can often be brought back to life for a fraction of replacement.

What's usually a replacement

A frame that's cracked, distorted, badly out of true, or an unbranded profile that's gone brittle — those have reached the end. So has any window where repairs would cost close to a new one.

Lean toward repair when

Look for this

  • The frame is sound
  • It's a branded profile
  • The fault is glass or hardware
  • The window is otherwise sealing well
