Repair before
replacement.

This tool cannot determine structural safety or measure accurately from an unscaled photo. Final pricing and outcome require glass-type confirmation and a test spot. Never polish cracked glass, chipped edges, or failed insulated units.

RESTORE

Keep the original glass

Professional resurfacing can remove mineral deposits, surface scratches, etching, and construction residue while avoiding demolition, disposal, and replacement downtime.

EXPECT

Honest results

Many surface problems can improve dramatically or return near original clarity. Deep damage may remain visible, and a test spot is the best predictor of the finished result.

REPLACE

Know when not to polish

Cracks, chipped edges, internal fogging, failed seals, and structurally compromised glass need a qualified glass professional—not cosmetic resurfacing.
