What you need to know
Can my broken glasses be repaired?
Most glasses can be fixed, including broken frames, loose hinges, and missing nose pads. At our Thornbury clinic, we offer in-store adjustments for minor issues, while our expert technicians handle more complex repairs using precision laser welding. If you’re in Coburg, Northcote, Brunswick East, Alphington, Preston, Fairfield, or Ivanhoe, visit us for an assessment.
How long do glasses repairs take?
Minor repairs and adjustments can often be completed on the spot in-store. For more complex repairs that require specialist work, turnaround times vary but are usually within a few days. Our trusted partner labs work quickly so you won’t be without your glasses for long.
How much do glasses repairs cost?
The cost of a repair depends on the type and extent of the damage. Simple fixes like tightening hinges or replacing nose pads are affordable, while laser welding or frame restoration may cost more. Drop into our Thornbury clinic, and we’ll assess the damage and provide a transparent quote before proceeding.
Can you repair both plastic and metal frames?
Yes, we repair both plastic and metal frames. Minor adjustments for plastic frames can often be done in-store, while metal frames can be seamlessly restored using laser welding. If your frames are cracked or broken, our skilled technicians can usually bring them back to near-new condition.
Should I repair or replace my glasses?
Repairs can be a cost-effective and sustainable option, especially if you love your current frames. Before replacing them, let us assess the damage. If a repair isn’t possible, we can help you find a new pair that suits your style and prescription. We welcome customers from Thornbury and surrounding areas, including Coburg, Northcote, Brunswick East, Alphington, Preston, Fairfield, and Ivanhoe.
