Do you mean the frames are broken, or the panes are misted?
Replacement panes are very inexpensive
Find out where the water is coming from, and put a stop to it. Windows don't prevent water.
Are you draping wet washing around your home? Do you fail to use a powerful bathroom extractor?
Otherwise, it must be a leak, or wet under the floor (probably caused by a leak).
Thanks for the reply JohnD.
Ok i may have over exaggerated a little...
the panels are misted up on the inside, just about all of them on the upstairs bay window, on a frosty morning such as we are getting now, the window to the touch is that wet with condensation is running down the window and gathering on the sill, it is like the old fashioned single glazed windows that i remember, i think the units have been in that long that it doesnt seem value for money just replacing the units, so i think we shall have to leave it for now and save up for the whole bay doing...
We dont dry washing in that room, but the bathroom is not yet fitted with an extractor fan, so that has to be on the to do list, i have noticed that a lot of the windows are of the very old type, and have a very small gap in the glass, some of them are painted aluminium in a wooden frame..
Incidently I have just been to my local tradelink window centre this morning and priced up a 1200x1200 (great price) window for the downstairs, this is to replace one of the very old ones that has a small unit gap, as i mentioned earlier i believe that i dont have lintels fitted above the windows, so this may be out of my diy capabilities, i have a builder coming out in the morning to give me some advice
Thanks for your input JohnD
