Why repair scratched glass?

Repairing scratched glass is often far more cost-effective than full replacement. Instead of paying for new materials, manufacturing, and installation, restoration can bring the existing glass back to a like-new condition at a fraction of the price.

It also provides an immediate solution. Replacing glass can involve long lead times for manufacturing, delivery, and fitting, especially for custom or large panels. In contrast, professional repair can usually be completed on-site and in a much shorter timeframe, minimizing disruption.

Beyond cost and convenience, repairing scratched glass is also a more sustainable choice. By restoring rather than replacing, you reduce waste and avoid the environmental impact associated with producing and transporting new glass.

In many cases, repairs can fully restore clarity and appearance without compromising the strength or integrity of the glass, making it a practical and efficient alternative to replacement.

Things to consider when looking at the damage

Its always good to be armed with information before you start ringing round for quotes because the specialist will be able to give you a more realistic price. A few things to consider when inspecting the damage:

• Inside or outside: Is the damage on the inside or outside of the glass?
• Location on the glass: Is the scratch 20mm in from the edge of the glass, or at least 50mm if near a corner?
• Accessibility: Is the area easily accessible, for example ground floor or up high?
• Photo: Another idea is to get a photo of the affected area and approximate dimensions so it is easier to be given a rough indication of cost from the photos.

What is glass polishing?

Glass polishing involves removing defects from glass, removing both light scratches and deep scratches on glass services. We offer a professional glass polishing service tailored to your needs and requirements.

Pros:

Ideal for removing defects such as scratches and scuffs from glass saving on costly glass replacement

Great for removing graffiti from glass

The process:

Glass polishing is carried out by an experienced technician, along with a polishing machine, abrasive discs and polishing compounds. In summary, the glass polishing process involves using abrasive discs to grind the glass surface to remove a very thin layer of the glass where the scratch resides. The process is repeated until the scratch disappears before the glass is then polished.

Cons:

Glass cannot usually be polished if the affected area is smaller than an A4 piece of paper or if it is too close to the edge of the frame

Is glass polishing expensive?

Glass polishing is significantly cheaper than replacing the glass itself. The price would depend on the area that needs repairing.

Glass polishing specialists can work both in and out of hours. The main requirement for most jobs would be having access to power for the hand tools used on the job.

What is glass restoration?

Glass restoration helps to rebuild damaged edges of glass providing you with an alternative option to replacing damaged glass with new. It helps to reduce the damaged visibility.

Pros:

• Repair damage on site including glass chips, shells and edge damage
• Catering for commercial glass; Curtain walling, shopfronts, mirrors, communal areas
• Ideal for domestic glazing; Bi-folds, patio doors, windows, glass balustrades

The process:

Glass restoration involves UV cured resin, special tools and a trained and experienced technician. The resin is used to rebuild small damaged within glass such as shells, before it is rebuilt to match the original glass surface and polished to finish.

Cons:

The visibility of the repair would depend on how severe the damage was, a join line may be seen however the integrity of the glass would have been restored.
