Gebo hatches -replacing seals and acrylic

[SAWDOC]

hi folks,
I would like to renew my Gebo hatches - 30 years old, one leaking both with crazed acrylic. Can anyone recommend a spare parts supplier with reasonable turnaround time. Alternatively is there someone out there to whom I could send the top lid of the hatch?

I've been on to eagle windows who don't do this model

TIA

Thanks Vic for your as always very helpful reply. I will give those guys a ring tomorrow.
I was thinking of DIY but the chap in Eagle boat windows highlighted the difficulty of placing the thick Gebo seal on the underside, which i found a little offputting. I don't mind a DIY approach but I do want to end up with a leak free hatch! Last thing I want is to be nattering away to friends across the cabin table waiting for a drop to plop!

I had the same problem with a now defunct hatch manufacturer and took my hatch to Eagle windows. They will refurbish it inc new acrylic etc. cost about £150.

I can thoroughly recommend C&J International Windows, who made an excellent job of re-glazing my 3xLewmar hatches. They are also more competitive than the other companies I got quotes from. Turn-around time was also good.
