Professional Glass Scratch Repair & Polishing in Brisbane & Gold Coast
Scratched glass windows, doors, or tables? Scratches can make even the cleanest glass look old and neglected. At Magicman, we provide expert glass scratch removal services that restore clarity and shine to your glass surfaces—without the high cost and hassle of glass replacement.
We serve homeowners and businesses across Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast, specializing in high-quality, distortion-free glass polishing.
Why Repair Your Glass Instead of Replacing It?
Replacing large panes of glass, especially toughened or double-glazed units, is incredibly expensive. Our repair service offers a faster, cleaner, and more affordable solution.
- Significant Savings: Repairs typically cost $300-$600, while replacing large windows can cost $1,500-$4,000+.
- No Messy Demolition: No need to remove frames, beads, or sealants. We work directly on the existing glass.
- Fast Service: Most scratches are removed in 2-4 hours.
- Environmentally Friendly: Reduces glass waste and the energy required for manufacturing and transport.

Our Expert Glass Polishing Process
Removing scratches from glass requires precision and patience to avoid creating "lenses" or distortion.
- Damage Assessment (10 minutes)
We determine the depth of the scratch. If your fingernail catches deeply in the scratch, it requires our multi-stage heavy removal process.
- Protection and Setup (15 minutes)
We mask off frames and surrounding areas to protect your property from polishing slurry.
- Abrasive Grinding (45-90 minutes)
For deep scratches, we use specialized abrasive discs to "grind" the glass down to the level of the scratch. We do this over a wide area to prevent distortion.
- Multi-Stage Honing (30-60 minutes)
We use progressively finer discs to remove the grinding marks and restore the glass to a translucent state.
- Final Polishing (30-45 minutes)
Using a specialized cerium oxide compound and high-speed polishing pads, we restore the glass to a perfectly clear, high-gloss finish.
- Inspection and Cleaning (15 minutes)
We clean the glass thoroughly and inspect it from multiple angles to ensure a distortion-free, crystal-clear result.
Total time: 2-5 hours | Result: Crystal clear glass

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the glass look "wavy" after the repair? No. By working over a large area and using a multi-stage process, we ensure that the glass remains flat and distortion-free.
Can you fix chips or cracks in glass? No. We specialize in surface scratch removal and polishing. We do not repair structural cracks or large chips that go through the glass.
Is there any mess? We use a wet polishing process which keeps dust to a minimum. We also mask up the area and clean the glass and surrounding frames once finished.
How do I get a quote? It's easiest if you send us a photo of the glass and a close-up of the scratches. Telling us the approximate size of the pane also helps!
