Typical prices for misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Cwmbran are £150 to £474 including VAT (£125 to £395 plus VAT) per unit, supplied and fitted. Use the quote tool for a guide figure, then we survey and confirm a fixed price.
Misted unit replacement means swapping a double-glazed unit whose seal has failed, so moisture has got between the panes, for a new sealed unit. Doing it with a laminated pane turns a routine repair into a security upgrade for little extra cost.
What you can specify
- Low-E glass, argon fill and warm-edge spacers
- Existing frames, handles and locks kept
- Security tape on externally beaded frames
- Laminated inner pane for security
- Obscure and decorative glass matched where possible
- Toughened panes where safety glass is required

- Rented homes with a few failed units
What to think about first
Laminated or standard
A laminated inner pane adds security for a small extra cost while the unit is being made.
Unit thickness
We match the overall thickness to your frame so the beads fit properly.
Consents and safety: Wales
Safety glass in critical locations
In Wales, safety glazing is covered by Approved Document N (glazing) under the Welsh Building Regulations rather than Approved Document K. Glass in doors up to 1,500 mm above the floor, in panes within 300 mm of a door up to 1,500 mm, and in other glazing below 800 mm should be safety glass or protected. Laminated and toughened glass are the usual choices.
Replacing glass in an existing frame
Welsh Government guidance says building regulations have applied to replacement glazing since 1 April 2002, which covers replacing windows and doors. Swapping only the glass or a sealed unit in an existing frame is generally treated as a repair. New glass in a critical location should still be safety glass, and the council's building control team can confirm anything unclear.

Misted unit replacement with laminated glass in Cwmbran: questions
Do you cover Pontypool as well as Cwmbran?
Yes. As well as Cwmbran, we can arrange surveys in nearby Pontypool, Risca and Newport. Dates depend on installer availability.
Why is there condensation between my window panes?
The seal around the unit has failed, letting damp air into the gap. The only lasting fix is a new unit.
Do I need a new window frame?
No, if the frame is sound. We replace only the sealed unit.
Can misted glass be repaired instead of replaced?
Some services drill and dry units, but the seal stays broken and insulation is not restored. A new unit is the reliable fix.
