FAQ

Most Common Glass Repair & Replacement Questions

Answers to what Dublin homeowners and businesses ask us most.

Can cracked glass be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?+

A crack in glass can't be safely repaired — it will keep spreading. We always replace the cracked pane with new glass matched to your existing unit.

Can you replace the glass without replacing the whole window?+

In most cases yes. We fit new glass into your existing frame, which is faster and far cheaper than a full window replacement.

Do you offer same-day or emergency glass repair?+

Yes. We run a 24/7 emergency line and prioritise Same day call-outs for broken or unsafe glass.

Can you give me a quote from a photo?+

Yes — send us a photo and rough measurements and we can usually give you a free ballpark quote before we visit.

Do you replace single-glazed and double-glazed glass?+

Yes, we work with both single-glazed panes and double-glazed sealed units, and can upgrade single glazing to double where needed.

Can you replace glass in uPVC, aluminium and timber frames?+

Yes, we work on all common frame materials — uPVC, aluminium, and timber — residential and commercial.

Why is there condensation between my window panes?+

Condensation between panes means the seal on your double-glazed unit has failed, letting moist air in. The unit needs replacing to fix it.

Can misted or foggy double glazing be repaired?+

Once the seal has failed, the fogging can't be cleaned away — the sealed unit needs to be replaced to restore clarity and insulation.

Can you replace a double-glazed unit without replacing the frame?+

Yes, in almost all cases we replace just the sealed glass unit and leave your existing frame in place.

Can you replace glass in front doors, back doors and patio doors?+

Yes, we replace glass in front doors, back doors, and sliding patio doors, fitted with the correct safety glass for each.

Do doors require toughened or laminated safety glass?+

Yes — building regulations require toughened or laminated safety glass in doors and side panels. We always fit compliant glass.

Can you match the existing glass, including patterned or decorative glass?+

Yes, we source matching patterned, frosted, and decorative glass so the replacement blends in with the rest of your window or door.

Can you replace unusually shaped or oversized panes?+

Yes, we cut glass to custom shapes and sizes, including arched, angled, and oversized panes.

What should I do immediately after a window breaks?+

Keep people and pets away from the area, clear loose glass if it's safe to do so, and call us — we can board it up right away if needed.

Do you provide emergency boarding-up?+

Yes, our 24/7 emergency line covers boarding-up for break-ins, storm damage, and accidents, usually within the hour.

Can you replace shopfront and commercial glass?+

Yes, we handle shopfronts, office glazing, and other commercial glass, working around your opening hours to minimise downtime.

Will you remove and dispose of the broken glass?+

Yes, we clear away and safely dispose of all broken glass and debris as part of every job, at no extra cost.
