Glaziers
Compare local glaziers and book online in seconds.
Glaziers replace broken windows and doors, install shower screens, splashbacks, mirrors and pet doors, and upgrade single glazing to laminated or double glazing. Australian Standard AS 1288 dictates where safety glass must be used, including doors, low windows and bathrooms, so a broken pane is often a chance to bring old glass up to standard.
OneBookPlus lets you compare local glaziers, check reviews and book repairs or quotes quickly, which matters when you are staring at a broken window. Confirmations and reminders arrive automatically, and stored quotes and invoices make insurance claims easier, since insurers usually want documentation for glass damage.

List your business, freeHow to choose a good Glazier
- Most states require no glazier licence, though Queensland needs a QBCC licence for glazing work above $3,300.
- Confirm public liability insurance before work starts, especially for balustrades, splashbacks and any overhead glass.
- Ask whether replacement glass complies with AS 1288, and get the glass type noted on your invoice.
- For emergencies, confirm the after-hours call-out fee and whether they board up or reglaze on the spot.
- Check they measure on site before ordering custom glass, rather than quoting only from your photos.
- For energy upgrades, ask about laminated, low-e and double glazing options and realistic noise reduction.
Questions to ask before you book
- What type of glass does the standard require in this location, and what are you quoting?
- Can you reglaze on the first visit, or will the glass need to be ordered?
- What is your after-hours call-out fee, and does it include temporary board-up?
- Will the invoice state the glass specification for my insurance claim?
- Do you install to AS 1288, and what workmanship warranty applies?
What does a glazier cost in Australia?
Replacing a standard broken window pane typically costs $200 to $500 including labour, more for safety, laminated or toughened glass, which can push common jobs to $350 to $800. After-hours emergency call-outs add roughly $150 to $300. Shower screens run about $500 to $1,600 installed, and double-glazing retrofits are priced per window. Glass type, size, access and urgency drive costs, which vary by region. Confirm quotes include GST and any board-up charges.
Frequently asked questions
Do glaziers need a licence in Australia?
Generally no occupational licence applies, with the main exception of Queensland, where glazing work over $3,300 requires a QBCC licence. Elsewhere, focus on public liability insurance, experience with AS 1288 and reviews. Any electrical or structural work connected to the job still needs the relevant licensed trade, so ask who handles those parts.
What is safety glass and where is it required?
Safety glass is toughened or laminated glass that breaks into blunt fragments or holds together when smashed. AS 1288 requires it in doors, sidelights, low-level windows, bathrooms and other human-impact areas. Older homes often have ordinary annealed glass in these spots, which can stay while intact but must be replaced with safety glass once broken.
Will insurance cover my broken window?
Most Australian home insurance policies cover accidental glass breakage, though the excess sometimes exceeds the cost of a small pane, so check before claiming. Insurers usually want an invoice showing the glass type and cause of damage, and some glaziers bill the insurer directly. Weigh the excess against the quote before deciding to claim.
Can a glazier fix a foggy double-glazed unit?
Fogging between the panes means the sealed unit has failed, and the unit itself must be replaced; the frame usually stays. A glazier measures the unit and orders a replacement, which typically takes one to three weeks. It is much cheaper than replacing the whole window and is a common repair as double glazing ages.
How quickly can a glazier attend after a break-in or storm?
Emergency glaziers in metro areas commonly attend within a few hours to board up or reglaze, and stock sizes can often be replaced on the spot. Custom, toughened or double-glazed panes must be ordered, so expect a temporary board-up first. After major storms demand spikes, so book early and photograph the damage for your insurer.
