After 30 years our fly bridge screens have seen better days. They are quite finely crazed and doesn't look like they are repairable. I've had a quote for about £1200 which seems quite a lot for a fly bridge screen on a 47' Trader.

Do you have any recommendations please?

If the screens are pretty simple shapes, either flat or slightly curved, they are very easy to make yourself.
Lots of people selling suitable acrylic on eBay, use the old ones as a template, cut it with a jigsaw and file/sand the edges.

£1200 sounds a lot, I paid to have mine done this year as I didn't expect to be getting to my boat at all. Four panels at the helm two with quite a tight bend that needed heating and three flat panels at the rear of the flybridge and it was 700 euros.
