Saving to client                 - £27,100

 

Glass Bar Top - Trinity College, Cambridge

When the college refurbished their student union bar, the bespoke glass bar top sustained very heavy scratch damage.

The bar top was not only expensive, the manufacture and process time to have the units replaced would have put the opening of the bar back by 6-8 weeks.

The Glass Polishing Company repaired the damage in 4 hours.

Cost to replace the units  - £3,500

Cost to repair the units    -  £325

Saving to client                 - £3,175

 

Balustrade Glass - Skipton Building Society, Yorkshire

During  the construction of this head office complex, the majority of the glass and stairwell units across 4 floors, sustained scratch damage through careless cleaning practices.

Both balcony and stairwell glass were bonded top and bottom, incorporating one piece handrails, spanning the 4 floors, making replacing the damaged units virtually impossible.

The Glass Polishing Company repaired the damage in 8 days.

Cost to replace the units  - £85,000

Cost to repair the units    -  £18,980

Saving to client                 - £65,020

    "When we contracted The Glass Polishing Company to repair scratch damage caused during a builders clean, I was amazed at how quickly they were able to assess, quote and undertake the contract.  The results of their work are second to none and the professionalism and speed of their operation is outstanding.  Many thanks guys."

  • "Grind spatter damaged 9 - 3 x 2 metre laminate units, 4th floor, curtain wall, internal atrium.  Those of you in the know will know what problems that presents to replace or repair.  I was already bracing myself for the expense of replacing these units, lifting equipment, council permits, 12 man fitting team etc and all of this after the 9 week lead-time for the glass.

    The Glass Polishing Company assessed the works, told me exactly what they needed, arrived on time and completed the contract within 5 days.  I should point out that the spatter damage was wide spread and the units needed to be almost completely resurfaced.

    The results were perfect.  No distortion on any of the 9 units, no hazing or marks of any sort.  Quick, professional and exceptional results.  They saved my project 8 weeks and over £30k.  Many Thanks"

  • "My shop front was graffiti scratched by the local hoodies making my shop look terrible.  The Glass Polishing Company repaired the damage in less than 3 hours and now my shop window looks like new.  They even advised me on how to prevent it happening again.  Thanks again."
