HDB glass restoration in Singapore covers shower screens, bathroom mirrors, sliding windows, kitchen glass, and balcony glass panels in HDB flats across all estates. Lion City Glass restores scratched, stained, and hazy glass in HDB bathrooms and living areas for less than the cost of replacement, typically from SGD 200 per panel with same-day completion on most jobs. No frame removal, no waterproofing disruption, no damage to surrounding finishes.
Why HDB Glass Gets Damaged
HDB flats face the same glass-damage causes as any Singapore home: daily shower use leaving hardwater minerals, acidic bathroom cleaners causing etching, post-BTO/post-renovation contractor damage, and accumulated scratches from regular cleaning. The difference is that HDB bathroom shower screens are typically the most affordable glass in the flat — which ironically means homeowners often delay professional restoration, letting damage become permanent, when a simple polish would have fixed it years earlier.
Common HDB Glass Problems We Fix
- Shower screen hardwater stains — white cloudy film on bathroom glass (see shower screen restoration)
- Shower screen acid etching — frosted-looking damage from aggressive bathroom cleaners
- Post-BTO glass damage — construction residue, cement splatter, grout stains from recent renovation work
- Scratches on sliding window panels — from daily cleaning or furniture contact
- Bathroom mirror corrosion — black spots spreading from edges due to moisture damage
- Kitchen glass splashback stains — oil residue, cleaning product etching
- Balcony glass haze — rain runoff staining on service balcony panels
HDB Bathroom Shower Screen: Our Most Common Job
The HDB bathroom shower screen is by far the most common glass restoration job we do in Singapore. The combination of a small enclosed space, hot water, aggressive cleaners from Singapore supermarkets, and daily use creates exactly the conditions that ruin glass fastest. Most HDB shower screens benefit from professional restoration every 2–4 years — significantly cheaper than replacement, and the bathroom can be used again the same day.
Typical HDB shower screen restoration is SGD 250–350 per enclosure, completed in 60–90 minutes, with no disruption to tiles, sealants, or waterproofing. Compare that to SGD 800–1,500 for full shower screen replacement plus the tile and waterproofing work replacement usually requires.
Post-BTO and Post-Renovation HDB Glass
New BTO handover and HDB renovation work are two of the biggest causes of glass damage in HDB flats. Contractors using abrasive cleanup methods, grout acid splash, cement splatter from bathroom waterproofing, and paint overspray all create damage that most homeowners only notice weeks later. See our post-renovation glass cleaning page for the full process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does HDB shower screen restoration cost?
Standard HDB shower screen restoration starts at SGD 250 for hardwater or light scratch damage. More severe cases with acid etching or multi-panel enclosures run SGD 300–500. See our pricing page for the full breakdown.
Do you need to remove the HDB bathroom shower screen from the wall?
No. All our work is done in-situ with the screen still installed. Frames, sealants, hinges, and tiles stay exactly as they are. The bathroom is usable immediately after the job.
Can you fix HDB bathroom mirror corrosion (black edge spots)?
Mirror edge corrosion (where the silver backing has oxidised) is NOT restorable — it’s backing damage, not front-surface damage. The mirror needs replacement. However, front-surface scratches, hazing, and cleaner damage on mirrors CAN be restored.
Is restoration cheaper than a new HDB shower screen from an installer?
Yes, typically 60–75% cheaper. An HDB shower screen replacement from a Singapore installer is usually SGD 800–1,500 including removal and refit. Restoration is SGD 250–500 and preserves your existing frames, tiles, and waterproofing.
Do I need to be home during the job?
Yes, for HDB work someone typically needs to be home for access. We’ll schedule a window that works for you — morning, afternoon, or evening appointments are all available Monday through Sunday.
