Same day

Most standard glass replacements

Replacing glass in windows, doors and shopfronts

Most jobs come to us the same way: something broke, and now the window needs sorting. We replace the glass in just about anything glazed around a home or business, matching the new glass to the right type and thickness for the job so it is safe, compliant and a proper fit.

Glass we repair and replace

Standard window glass, from a single cracked pane to a whole run of windows
Toughened (safety) glass and laminated glass where the location calls for it
Obscure and frosted glass for bathrooms, entries and privacy
Double-glazed (insulated) units where the glass has cracked or become foggy
Glass in timber, aluminium and steel-framed windows
Heater glass for wood fires, and oven door glass replacement
Picture frame glass, cut for you in store

We keep large sheet glass in stock and cut to size in Ballarat, which is why our turnaround is quick.

If you are not sure what kind of glass you have, send a photo through the quote form or call the shop and we will work it out with you.

Boarded up today, new glass as soon as tomorrow

When you need to fix a broken window, the first job is making the house secure. In most cases we can replace the glass the same day, or board up and make-safe the same day so you are not left with an open or dangerous window overnight, then come back and fit the new glass as soon as the next business day. Because we cut glass here in Ballarat and hold large sheets in stock, most standard broken-window repairs are quick, with no long wait for glass to arrive.

That is the difference between a real local glazier and a bloke in a van: we answer the phone, we have a large range of glass on hand, and we will still be here if you ever need us again.

After-hours emergency glass repair in Ballarat

Glass rarely breaks at a convenient time. Our emergency line is a manned mobile, so after hours you reach a real person, not a message bank. We come out, board up and make the property safe, then arrange the glass replacement for the next business day.

What affects the cost of glass replacement?

Every job is different, so we give you a firm price after a measure, and we can usually give you an estimate over the phone first. The cost to replace glass in a window or door mainly comes down to:

The size of the panel

A small window pane is a quicker, smaller job than a large sliding or patio door panel.

The type of glass

Standard, toughened, laminated, obscure or low-iron glass all sit at different price points, and safety glass is required by law in some locations.

Single glass or a double-glazed unit

Replacing a failed or fogged insulated unit costs more than a single glazed pane.

Access and height

Upper-storey or hard-to-reach windows take more time and care.

Standard hours or after-hours emergency

An after-hours call-out carries the emergency fee noted above.

We do not publish a price list because a genuine quote depends on the glass and the job in front of us. Tell us about the job and we will give you an honest price, with no call-out fee to come and measure, if required.

Sliding and patio door glass replacement

If the glass in your sliding door or patio door is cracked, chipped or smashed, we cut and fit a new safety-glass panel to suit. Big glass doors take a knock from furniture, weather, kids and pets, and a broken panel is both a hazard and a security problem, so it is worth sorting quickly.

We replace the glass in the door, using toughened or laminated safety glass for a door panel. We are glaziers, so this is a reglaze of the glass panel rather than supplying a whole new door unit, although we can replace some of the hardware (such as the rollers) if necessary. If the frame is the real problem, we will tell you honestly when we measure, so you can get the right repairs.

What a new sliding or patio door panel costs depends on a few things: size, glass type and thickness, and whether it is standard or obscure glass. The fastest way to a firm number is to call or email the details for an estimate, followed by a measure and quote.

Other glass repair and replacement jobs we do

Shopfront and commercial glass

Businesses cannot sit with a boarded-up front for long. We stock large sheet glass, so we can turn shopfront glass replacement around fast, often the same day, and get you trading again.

Insurance work

We handle insurance jobs. That said, once you factor in the excess, a lot of glass jobs work out cheaper if paid direct, so we will help you weigh it up honestly rather than just push a claim.

Pet doors

We can supply and fit a pre-cut safety-glass panel with a pet door, into a window or a door, so it is done properly and safely.

Your glass replacement questions answered

How quickly can you replace a broken window?

In many cases we can have your window fixed the same day. If a same-day fix is not possible, we can board up and make your home safe the same day, then fit the new glass as soon as the next business day. We cut glass here in Ballarat and keep large sheets in stock, so turnaround on a standard broken window is fast.

How much does it cost to replace glass in a window?

It depends on the size, the type of glass and whether it is a single pane or a double-glazed unit. We can often give you a price over the phone or by email after a few short questions, followed by a measure if required.

Can you replace the glass in a sliding or patio door?

Yes. We cut and fit a new safety-glass panel for cracked or smashed sliding and patio doors. We replace the glass in the door rather than the whole door unit, and if the frame is the real issue we will tell you when we measure.

Do you do after-hours emergency glass repair?

Yes. Our after-hours emergency line is 0418 508 429. We come out, board up and make-safe, then replace the glass the next business day. An after-hours call-out fee applies and we will quote it upfront on the phone.

Do you do insurance work?

Yes, we handle insurance jobs. Many glass jobs end up cheaper when paid direct once you factor in the excess, so we will help you weigh that up honestly.
