Almost every window fault is cheaper to repair than to replace. A misted unit is £75–£190. A handle is £45–£95. A lock is £80–£180. A whole new window is several hundred pounds — and usually unnecessary, because the frame is rarely the thing that failed.
The table below is what these jobs cost, fitted, including the part. There is no call-out fee on a booked repair; emergency out-of-hours attendance carries a premium.
If someone quotes you a new window for a misted unit, a stiff handle or a dropped sash, get a second opinion. Those are all repairs.

£75–£190 per sealed unit, replaced, with the existing frame kept. That is typically a quarter to a third of the cost of a whole new window.
Repair, in almost every case where the frame is sound. A handle is £45–£95, a hinge £55–£110, a lock £80–£180 and a misted unit £75–£190. A replacement window starts at several hundred pounds and only makes sense when the frame itself has failed.
