My Glasses Broke-Can They Be Reglazed or Repaired?

The Reglazing Route: Save Your Specs, Save Your Spend

Don’t worry-a broken lens doesn’t always mean buying a brand new pair. If your frame is still in good condition, you can often reglaze it-meaning your favourite specs get a fresh set of lenses without the extra cost (or waste) of replacing the whole thing.

What Is Reglazing?

We’ve made the process quick and easy:

  1. Choose the “Reglaze Only” option from our store and add it to your cart
  2. Complete your purchase
  3. We’ll email you with instructions and our secure posting address
  4. Package up your frame and send it to us (we recommend tracked delivery)
  5. Our team will reglaze your lenses and send your upgraded glasses back to you!

Why Choose Reglazing Instead of Buying New?

  • Budget-Friendly: Keep your frames and save money — Reglazing costs just a fraction of what you’d pay for new glasses
  • Eco-Friendly: Reduce waste and reuse what still works perfectly
  • Sentimental Value: Whether they’re a perfect fit or hold special memories, reglazing gives your favourite frames a second life.

Sending Us Your Frame?

Just be sure to follow the packaging and postage tips on our 'Reglaze Only' page-we’ve included everything you need to know. In some cases, replacing your glasses may be the better option.

FAQs

What types of damage can be repaired?
Minor issues such as loose screws, worn lenses, or lenses popping out can often be resolved. However, snapped frames or cracks through the bridge usually can’t be repaired safely. We may ask you for photos to help determine whether the damage can be repaired.

How do I know if my frames are suitable for reglazing?
If the frame isn’t cracked, bent out of shape, or structurally weakened, it’s often suitable. If you’re unsure, we always recommend checking before proceeding so nothing is guessed.

Is reglazing cheaper than buying new glasses?
In many cases, yes. Reglazing allows you to keep frames you already love while upgrading the lenses, making it a cost-effective option when the frame is still in good condition.

Can prescription changes be applied during reglazing?
Yes. Reglazing is an ideal time to update your prescription, change lens types, or add coatings-all without changing your frames.
