Can you remove Sandpaper scratches from window?
Where scratches are within 20mm of the framework / 50mm for corners, polishing out the scratches here increases the risk of glass failure or frame damage. The increased risk comes from our technicians not being able to see any flaws that may be hidden under the frames, such as nicks and chips in the glass.
We can undertake the work for you on an all care no responsibility basis, or alternatively, if you can deglaze the glass, we can remove the scratches on trestles that our technicians carry onboard their vehicles.
Chat to one of our team, to discuss your options.
Will repairing scratched glass restore it to its original condition?
Scratches can be removed from most types of glass; our repair process will restore the finish to the British Standards for the appearance of newly installed glass
Are there any risks with polishing scratches out of glass?
Yes, glass can break. We avoid polishing within 20mm of the perimeter in case there is underlying damage under the framework, as this could lead to a breakage. We will always advise you of the risks if your damage is on a certain type of glass.
Due to this, we cannot resolve sandpaper scratches around the edges of the glass, unless the glass is removed from the framework.
