Our Proven 3-Step Glass Restoration Process
At Melbourne Glass Polishing, we use a proven three-step system to restore damaged glass to a clear, near-new finish—without the cost and disruption of replacement.
1. Precision Grinding
Using our advanced dry-disc system, we carefully remove scratches, grinder damage, acid etching and hard-water stains—without distorting the glass.
2. Surface Refinement
Next, we pre-polish the repaired area to remove fine abrasions left by grinding and prepare the surface for a flawless final finish.
3. Final Polish & Inspection
Finally, we restore the glass to a clear, glossy finish and inspect it under natural and artificial light. If it doesn’t meet or exceed AS 4667, you don’t pay.

Such a professional company to deal with and the person who attended over 2 days, was fastidious until the result was near new looking windows and doors in my home. I can easily and highly recommend Melbourne Glass Polishing.
Because I’m very particular it took months to select them for my job. I got it right and so did they.

How Our Professional Glass Restoration Works
Our specialised glass restoration process removes surface and subsurface damage while preserving the clarity and structural integrity of the glass. It is ideal for construction scratches, acid etching, grinder damage, welding spatter and hard-water staining.
Our method is fast, cost-effective and completed on-site, avoiding the expense and disruption of glass replacement. Every repair is carefully assessed to ensure the finished glass meets our exacting quality standards.
Step 1: Precision Grinding
We begin with our specialised dry-grinding technique, carefully removing the damaged layer of glass. This eliminates scratches, acid etching, welding spatter, grinder damage and hard-water staining while creating a smooth, uniform surface for the next stage.
Step 2: Surface Refinement
Next, we pre-polish the repaired area to remove the fine abrasions left by grinding. This refines the surface and prepares the glass for a clear, distortion-free final finish—especially important on shopfronts, balustrades and commercial glazing.
Step 3: Final Polish & Quality Inspection
Finally, we use specialised polishing compounds to restore the glass’s natural clarity and gloss. Every repair is then inspected under natural and artificial light to ensure the finished result meets or exceeds AS 4667 and our own quality standards.
Why Our Process Works
Developed through years of hands-on experience, our three-step system delivers reliable results across residential, commercial, retail and industrial glass. Whether working at ground level or by rope access, our technicians complete repairs on-site with minimal disruption.
