We repair chipped glass balustrade panels, curtain walling, shopfronts, bi-fold/patio doors and residential and commercial windows.
There are many causes of chips, edge slithers, shells, and bullseye damages in glass.
It may be from a scaffold pole accidently catching a glass window on a construction site, it may be from stones being flung up from passing traffic, or your lawn mower in the garden; sometimes the cause is not known and the chip damage is just found during a snagging inspection, or routine cleaning.
We provide this service to anyone who has chip or shell, impact damages to glass. We work with professionals in the construction/trade industry where the damage has occurred during the project life cycle and picked up on snagging, a retail company who has a chipped glass cabinet, or a glass manufacturer with nicks to the edge of glass panels.
Each impact damage is unique, making each repair unique. Our technicians have seen a variety of chipped glass damages and know the best way to repair them, restoring the glass.
Why have the Chipped Glass Panel Restored instead of Replaced?
Our aim is to provide you with an alternative option to replacing damaged chipped glass panels for new. Our focus is on providing an excellent, efficient service, along with high quality workmanship to the repair of chipped and shelled glass panels.
Our turnaround to come to your site, place of work or home, is generally quicker than the time taken for new glass to be ordered and processed, reducing the time of having unsafe glass on site, especially with sharp edges, or if you are up against handover deadlines.
How do we Repair Chips in Glass?
All our glass chip repairs are undertaken on-site whilst the glass is in-situ, using UV cured resins and tools specially designed for this job.
Where the damage (chip, shell) is located on the edge of a glass panel, such as shells and slither damages, our resin repair system enables the technician to rebuild the damaged piece of glass using tabs and resins, before shaping and polishing it back to match the original profile. For damages located within the panel, such as bullseyes and star chips, we use a vacuum tool (an injector) designed to remove air and moisture from the void before filling the break completely with the resins.
The result will not be an invisible repair, as there will be scarring where the resin meets the glass, however, both of these processes leave the chipped glass area with a smooth, clear and safe finish that is both structurally stable and with the original profile restored.
