Glass Repair
We use various conservation-grade adhesives, including epoxy resins which give a similar refractive index to glass, or can be tinted to match the colour of the glass we are restoring. Yes potentially, although polishing scratches out completely can be quite a risky procedure as it may abrade the surface of the object. Instead, it is often preferable to reduce the visibility of fine scratches with the application of an acrylic glaze or varnish. In the case of very deep scratches, we would usually fill them with a thin layer of epoxy resin or acrylic glaze or varnish, however the scratches may still be visible. However, an object such as a restored glass fruit bowl could possibly be safely used, if cleaning was carried out occasionally using a damp cloth. The broken sections were then assembled and then secured in place with heated wax.
This helps to keep costs low and means you won’t need to change the style of your windows. Alternatively, we can replace broken or missing elements with exact replicas. This enables us to provide swift turnaround times while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship and durability.

A broken window or glass door isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a security risk.
There are various options for getting your glass object to us for restoration, although we do strongly advise against sending it through the post. In such cases, we will discuss with you how to board up a broken window visible the scratches are likely to be after treatment so you can make an informed choice about whether or not you wish to go ahead with restoration. Unfortunately, we do not recommend using restored glass objects for domestic use. Enamel restoration is carried out using epoxy resin mixed with coloured pigments & fumed sillica powder & glass microballoons. Cracks & losses in clear glass can be discreetly repaired using a clear epoxy resin which is non-yellowing and matches the refractive index of the glass.

Some types of glass that are less transparent are potentially more likely to be restored to a level that is almost invisible, however this is very dependent on the nature of the damage. As such, many of the materials we use in glass restoration are soluble in very hot water. In practical terms this means that regularly washing your restored-drinking glass would eventually lead to the breakdown of the repair. Our methods for restoring glass adhere to industry best practice guidelines, which state that the materials used to restore glass should be removable by a professional conservator, without undue risk of damaging the object.
