In the past, if window glass was scratched, stained or defaced, replacement was your only option. Now, Suntamers NZ brings you their cost effective alternative.

In 2003, while installing anti-graffiti window film we were asked if we could help with glass that was already scratched and developed a system to remove the scratches.   Since that first success, we have refined our system which restores glass to as new finish in most situations

If you’re involved in property maintenance or insurance in the retail, construction, marine, public facility, or transport industries, you may be paying thousands of dollars to replace the damaged glass – or perhaps putting it off because of the cost.  In most cases, ScratchPro can provide the solution.

We have successfully removed the damage in a variety of situations, including:

• accidental scratching
• graffiti and vandalism, including acid graffiti
• weld splatter and grinder marks
• efflorescence from marble and ceramic tile surfaces
• salt and hard water stains
• careless cleaning and chemical residue.

Glass damage removed and completing final polish.

We have the technology, we have the knowledge of glass and we have the experience of working with it. So when you need professional glass scratch removal & restoration services call or email us.

As well as providing Glass Restoration services we can provide you a great range of Surface protection which can prevent the damage happening in the future.

Glass tagging

Scratched glass, not long ago the only time you heard or saw this was a windscreen scratch or over enthusiastic sanding of window frames….. Sadly not these days to the anger and frustration of many retailers, property managers and insurance companies. Glass tagging, etching or scratchitti of shop and commercial premises windows has become a real problem. This is a real in your face crime that is not as easy to get rid of as pen and paint tagging and sadly for many business owners the defacing of their business is something they have learnt to live with. Can Scratchpro help?

Simple answer Yes

We can remove the scratches and restore the glass and install Anti graffiti to protect the glass from future attack.

Scratch Removal for Construction Companies and Glaziers

ScratchPro has extensive experience in removing scratches on-site for NZ’s major construction companies and glass installers. Typical damage is caused by hard objects, such as plant or tool boxes being left on glass prior to installation or damage by tools, ladders or scaffolding during construction. Regularly, problems occur when the mortar, labels or paint is being removed from glass or mirrors.

Weld Splatter and Grinder flash
ScratchPro can restore glass that has been damaged by weld splatter, i.e. when metal has been burnt into glass as a result of grinding, welding or cutting metal in close proximity to glass. Typically this type of damage becomes more apparent over time as the metal rusts and stains the glass.

The most common damage we are called on to restore has been when the glass has been cleaned using the wrong equipment and poor techniques. The resultant damage appears as very fine scratches in a random pattern over the entire glass surface and typically looks worse in the early morning or late afternoon.

This type of damage is very difficult to photography well because of the resolution limits in lighting and capturing these images

How often have you looked at a piece of glass and tried to clean it only to find it was water stained?

Special projects

Every business has it’s challenges and when the property managers at Wellingtons Majestic Centre turned off the tap to the Water Cascade after 15 years they found the most severe staining we had ever seen.

The refurbishment was to include replacement of the waterproof lining and installing a new diode lighting system. The state of the glass would become even more apparent when this was completed.
