Specialist Glass ScratchRemoval Across Newport,Cardiff & Bristol
Scratches removed from windows, shower doors, glass splashbacks, cooker hobs and balustrades — restoring clarity without replacement, in a single visit.
A specialist trade — done properly, the first time.
Scratched glass is an expensive problem to fix conventionally — replacement of toughened or laminated glass can run into the thousands. Specialist scratch removal restores clarity in situ, in under two hours per panel.
What it is
Multi-stage diamond and cerium oxide polishing of scratches and abrasions on float glass, toughened glass, laminated glass, mirrors and glass splashbacks.
Who it's for
Homeowners; landlords; window installers fixing handover damage; insurance customers with vandalism damage; commercial property managers.
When it's needed
After fitter scratches, cleaning damage, vandalism, accidental contact, or where original glass is too expensive or impractical to replace.
Why a specialist matters
Replacing toughened or laminated glass requires lifting and re-fitting heavy units, often with new seals and even framework changes. Scratch removal restores the same panel in place at a fraction of the cost.
Small problems rarely stay small.
Scratched glass doesn't just look bad — it gets worse over time as dirt and cleaning chemicals work into the abrasion.
The risks of leaving it
- Scratches accumulate dirt that becomes impossible to clean
- Vandalism scratches reduce property and rental valuations
- Window installer damage can lead to disputes if not repaired quickly
- Replacement of toughened glass costs £200–£800+ per panel
- Insurance disputes over delayed repair of vandalism damage
- Condensation accumulates in scratched areas, accelerating wear
Common mistakes we see
- Trying to polish out scratches with toothpaste or DIY paste — minimal effect, may worsen finish
- Cleaning scratched glass with abrasive pads — adds to the damage
- Replacing entire panels for repairable scratches
- Hiring a general window cleaner without polishing equipment
- Ignoring small scratches until they become visible across the panel
A clear, controlled, repeatable system.
