Glass restoration in Singapore typically costs between SGD 200 and SGD 2,000 per job at Lion City Glass, with most residential shower-screen and single-panel work landing near the lower end and multi-panel commercial facade or skylight restoration toward the upper end. Every job starts with a free on-site (or photo-based) assessment so you know the exact price before any work begins — no hidden charges, no surprises.
How Much Does Glass Restoration Cost in Singapore?
Most Lion City Glass jobs fall within a SGD 200–2,000 band, quoted as a fixed price after a free site assessment. A single scratched shower screen, a hazy condo balcony panel, or one badly stained shopfront door typically sits at the lower end. Multi-panel facade restoration, full skylight atriums, or MCST-scale projects run toward the top of the band. For jobs outside this range (very small touch-ups or very large contracts), we scope and quote separately.
What Affects the Price of Glass Restoration?
Seven factors drive every glass restoration quote in Singapore. Understanding these helps you budget accurately and compare apples to apples when getting multiple quotes.
- Glass condition and severity. Light handling marks cost far less than deep acid-etch damage or years of calcified hardwater deposits. Severity is assessed before any quote is given.
- Surface area. Priced per panel for small residential work (shower screens, balcony panels, shopfronts) and per square metre for large commercial facades.
- Access difficulty. Ground-level glass is the baseline. Rope-access work on high-rise facades, elevated work platforms, and skylight access add to the scope.
- Glass type. Float glass, tempered glass, laminated glass, polycarbonate, and acrylic all require different compounds and techniques. Tempered glass in particular needs careful handling to preserve the tempered surface layer.
- Location and travel. Island-wide service is included in most quotes, but remote or restricted-access sites (Sentosa, industrial zones, secured compounds) may involve scheduling premiums.
- Nano coating add-on. Adding hydrophobic nano coating after restoration protects the finish for 12–36 months and is priced as an optional extra.
- Volume discounts. MCST maintenance programmes, multi-unit residential jobs, and bulk commercial contracts receive progressive discounts.
Price Ranges by Service
Every quote is job-specific, but here are typical starting points within our SGD 200–2,000 overall band. The final price is always confirmed before work starts, based on a free site assessment.
- Glass polishing & scratch removal — Entry-level jobs start at SGD 200 for a single residential panel. Commercial shopfront doors and multi-panel office partitions typically SGD 400–1,200.
- Hardwater & mineral stain removal — Single shower screen from SGD 250. Pool-adjacent glass panels, MCST common-area glass, and facade hardwater treatments scale from there.
- Acid etch & chemical stain removal — Shower-screen acid etch correction from SGD 350 for light etching. Severe etching or multi-panel commercial work runs higher due to the multi-stage diamond-abrasive process required.
- Facade glass cleaning & restoration — High-rise and commercial facade restoration is priced per square metre plus access method. Typical multi-floor commercial jobs fall within the top half of our SGD 200–2,000 band. MCST annual programmes are quoted separately.
- Skylight glass cleaning & restoration — Residential skylight panels from SGD 300. Hotel atriums, shopping mall skylights, and commercial installations are scoped per job.
- Nano hydrophobic glass coating — Typically added to any of the above for an additional premium. Standalone coating application (on already-clean glass) is available from SGD 200 for residential shower screens.
Why Lion City Glass Uses Site-Assessment Pricing
Every glass restoration job in Singapore is genuinely different. The same-looking shower screen could need a 30-minute polish or a 3-hour multi-stage acid-etch correction — the difference only becomes clear under professional inspection. Rather than guess with flat rates that penalise simple jobs and underquote complex ones, we provide a free on-site or photo-based site assessment and a firm fixed price before any work begins. You only pay once you’ve approved the scope.

Frequently Asked Questions About Glass Restoration Pricing
How much does glass polishing cost in Singapore?
Glass polishing starts at SGD 200 per residential panel at Lion City Glass. Typical condo shower screens or small shopfront doors are SGD 200–400. Commercial multi-panel work scales based on panel count, glass type, and scratch depth. Every job gets a firm price after a free site assessment.
Is glass restoration cheaper than replacement?
Yes. Glass restoration in Singapore typically costs 60–80% less than panel replacement and avoids the disruption of removing frames, waterproofing, and sealants. For a shower screen that would cost SGD 800–1,500 to replace, restoration is often SGD 250–500 and keeps the original frame intact.
Do you charge for a site assessment?
No. Site assessments are free across Singapore for commercial, MCST, and multi-unit residential projects. For single residential panels we usually do a free WhatsApp photo assessment first, which is faster than an on-site visit and just as accurate for pricing.
Is the quote fixed or does it change once work begins?
The quote is fixed once you approve it. The only time pricing changes mid-job is if hidden damage is discovered that was not visible during assessment — in which case we stop, explain the issue, and give you a revised scope and price before continuing. You are never charged for the original quoted amount if you decline to proceed.
Do you offer discounts for MCST or bulk work?
Yes. MCST annual maintenance programmes, multi-unit HDB or condo jobs, and bulk commercial contracts receive progressive volume discounts. Annual facade maintenance contracts in particular prevent staining from becoming permanent and reduce long-term costs significantly compared to one-off restorations.
Why don’t you publish fixed per-panel rates?
Because glass condition varies dramatically even within the same property. Two identical-looking shower screens can have 10x different restoration effort depending on etch depth, mineral penetration, or underlying damage. Fixed rates either penalise simple jobs or underquote complex ones. Free assessments give you an honest, accurate number every time.
