Repair vs. Replace Glass for Doors – Advice Needed
Permalink   
 

Hi!

For a cracked door glass, the decision really depends on the size and type of the damage. Small chips or hairline cracks can sometimes be repaired with a glass repair kit, but larger cracks, especially in tempered or laminated glass, usually require full replacement for safety.

If you’re in Toronto, you might want to check out https://www.dooronthego.ca/glass-repair-service-toronto/ for professional repair or replacement options. Tempered glass is strong but can’t be patched, so replacement is the only safe option. DIY replacement is possible for simple panes, but professional installation is recommended for heavy, framed, or tempered glass to ensure safety and proper sealing.

Costs can range from $150–$500 depending on the type and size of the glass.

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for advice on handling glass doors in my home. One of my doors has a crack, and I’m unsure whether it’s better to repair the glass or replace it entirely. What factors should I consider when deciding between repair and replacement?

Are there types of glass that are easier or safer to repair? Also, if I choose replacement, should I attempt it myself, or is hiring a professional strongly recommended?

Any tips, experiences, or cost estimates from others who’ve dealt with door glass issues would be greatly appreciated!
