Grinder sparks or welding spatter
Poor post-construction cleaning

Light, Moderate and Deep Scratches

Light scratches usually sit on the surface and may not catch your fingernail. These are often the easiest to restore.

Moderate scratches may catch slightly and can often be reduced or removed with the right process.

Deep scratches need careful assessment. Some can be repaired, but damage near corners, edges, fittings or cut-outs can be higher risk. We will always assess the damage and explain your options before starting.

Why Repair Instead of Replace?

Glass replacement can mean measuring, ordering, waiting, removal, disposal and installation. Glass restoration can often be completed faster and with less disruption. Where suitable, scratch repair can:

Save money
Reduce delays
Avoid unnecessary replacement
Reduce waste
Improve the appearance of the glass
Help builders and property managers resolve defects faster

Send clear photos of the scratch, a wider photo of the full panel and your suburb. We will review the damage and let you know if repair is likely suitable.

Assessing the whole panel

A scratch that looks small in a close-up photo can be much more noticeable when sunlight passes across a window or door. We consider the position and spread of the marks as well as their depth. A few isolated scratches, a broad patch of fine marks and damage beside a fitting may each need a different approach. The aim is a practical improvement in the appearance of the glass, with realistic expectations agreed before work starts.

A photo assessment is a useful first step, but it cannot confirm every detail of the glass or the damage. Please tell us if the panel has a film, tint or specialist coating, and whether either side is difficult to reach. Do not scrape the area or use an abrasive pad to test the scratch; this can introduce more marks and make the original problem harder to assess.

Planning a scratch repair

For a home, let us know which room or doorway is affected and whether furniture limits access. For a commercial property or construction site, include the number of panels and any access or handover requirements. These details help us understand the scale of the job and explain what needs to be checked on site. Restoration is intended for suitable surface damage. It does not mend cracks, rebuild chipped edges or correct a failed sealed glass unit. Where the condition of the panel makes restoration unsuitable, we will explain the limitation rather than promise a result that the glass cannot support. Assessing the damage first gives you a clearer basis for deciding what to do next.

For an overview of how suitable surface marks are treated, read about our glass polishing service. If scratches were noticed during a build or handover, our construction glass defect assessment explains what information to send about the panels and site access.
