My 3 year old son has just thrown a plastic cup at my plasma tv and it has cracked like a smashed window where he threw it.
I dont think i can claim on my house insurance as i only claimed for the same thing about 6 months ago.
Advice on what to do the screen is only 1 1/2 years old and cost over £1400.
Does anyone know anywhere in the uk that fixes them

Potentially, repairing the damage your screen has suffered may cost more than a replacement.
Check out the dealers below, who should be able to offer you an estimate -

Basically... you're in trouble. Once a plasma had been damaged there's usually no effective way to repair it. In this case an extended warranty wouldn't have helped, as they don't normally cover accidental damage.
My advice is to buy a cheap LCD as a temporary replacement, and when the six months until you can claim for another broken plasma are up, pretend it only just happened.
And if your son throws cups around, why on earth did you let him have a cup in front of the television?

I agree with the last answer, you need to sort your kid out first and let him know this was naughty. Otherwise it will keep happening.
You should be able to claim on your household insurance.
Should have taken out an "extended warranty" (this would have covered accidental damage), knowing you had a child that could damage it.
Fraction of the cost of a repair.
Bet you will next time eh?

The store that you bought the set should have a list of approved screen repairers

Discipline your child. Don't let his bad behavior get to that point. You should redirect his behavior before he acts out negatively. Unless he is mentally retarded it is your fault that he has broken the tv TWICE and insurance shouldn't have to pay for your lack of parental guidance.

Claim on your insurance again. Otherwise it will be a massive bill
