Condominium Glass Restoration Singapore — Unit & MCST Common-Area Work

Last updated: 9 April 2026

Condominium glass restoration in Singapore covers unit-level shower screens, balcony glass panels, sliding doors, and kitchen glass, plus common-area facade glass, lobbies, pool decks, and lift lobbies managed through the MCST. Lion City Glass restores condo glass at both individual owner level (residential) and building level (MCST), with pricing and scheduling that fits either scope.

Two Types of Condo Glass Restoration

Condominium glass work splits into two scenarios: individual unit owners restoring their own glass (shower screens, balcony panels, sliding doors) and MCSTs restoring building-level glass (facade, lobby, common areas, pool deck). The technical work is similar, but the booking process, scheduling, and contract structure differ significantly.

Individual Unit Condo Restoration

For condo unit owners, the most common glass restoration jobs are:

  • Master bathroom shower screens with hardwater or acid-etch damage (see shower screen restoration)
  • Balcony glass balustrades with rain runoff staining and biological growth (see balcony glass restoration)
  • Floor-to-ceiling living room sliding doors with scratches or haze
  • Kitchen glass splashbacks with oil residue and cleaner damage
  • Walk-in wardrobe glass with fingerprint haze and scratches
  • Post-renovation glass damage from bathroom or kitchen renovation work

Condo unit work is quoted directly to the owner. Most jobs need MCST/managing agent notification for contractor access — we can provide the paperwork. Typical unit-level jobs complete in a single visit.

MCST Common-Area Restoration

At the MCST level, we maintain condominium common-area glass — the facade, entrance lobbies, lift lobbies, pool-deck panels, clubhouse glass, function room partitions, and balcony common glass that’s part of the managing corporation’s maintenance scope. For MCST programmes, see our dedicated MCST facade glass maintenance programme page.

Typical Condo Glass Problems

  • Shower screen hardwater and acid etch — most common owner complaint
  • Balcony panel biological staining — green algae, black mould in shaded corners
  • Balcony panel hardwater streaks — visible white streaks from monsoon rain runoff
  • Floor-to-ceiling sliding door scratches — from pets, furniture, daily wear
  • Lobby and entrance glass haze — from aggressive daily cleaning by building cleaners
  • Pool-deck glass etching — from chlorine splash and pool-chemistry exposure
  • Post-renovation damage — very common after kitchen/bathroom reno cycles

Scheduling Around MCST Rules

Most Singapore condos require contractor permits, work-hour restrictions, and insurance paperwork on file with the managing agent before we can work on-site. We handle this coordination for every condo job — you don’t need to chase permits yourself. Typical turnaround from booking to completed work is 5–10 working days depending on MCST approval speed.

Our Condo Glass Restoration Process

  1. Photo assessment. WhatsApp photos give us enough to quote most jobs without a site visit.
  2. MCST coordination. We handle contractor access requests, insurance documentation, and work-hour approvals with the managing agent.
  3. Site visit and work. On approved date, we attend the unit or common area and complete the work in-situ.
  4. Quality check. Optical inspection and handover photos for the condo owner or MCST record.
  5. Optional nano coating. Hydrophobic protection for longer-lasting results, especially on shower screens and balcony glass.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you handle MCST contractor permits and insurance paperwork?

Yes. We have standard insurance documentation, WSH compliance paperwork, and contractor profiles ready to submit to any Singapore MCST managing agent. Permit approval speed depends on the specific MCST — typically 3–7 working days.

How much does condo glass restoration cost?

Unit-level work is priced per panel: from SGD 250 for a single shower screen, SGD 300–600 for balcony glass, up to SGD 1,200 for floor-to-ceiling sliding door restoration. MCST common-area work is scoped per site and typically falls within our SGD 200–2,000 per-visit band with volume discounts for building programmes. See the pricing page.

Can you work on weekends or public holidays?

Yes, subject to MCST approval. Many condos restrict contractor work to weekday business hours, but some allow weekend work with prior notice. We confirm allowed work hours during the booking process.

Do I need to empty the bathroom before restoration work?

No. We just need clear access to the glass surface. Toiletries, shampoo bottles, and bathroom fittings stay where they are — we protect the area and work around them.

Can you restore curved or custom-shaped condo glass?

Yes, but we assess each custom shape first. Curved glass, arched panels, and non-standard shapes take longer than flat panels but are restorable using the same cerium-oxide polishing techniques.
