Glass door and glass panel repair in Delhi
For glass repair in Delhi, send a photo or short video on WhatsApp first. FabWise quotes floor spring repairs, broken toughened glass, cracked plain glass and shower hinges from the pictures, so there is no paid visit for repairs. Replacement toughened panels are made to size and take around 7–10 days.
Glass repair in Delhi usually starts with an annoyance rather than an emergency: a showroom door in Karol Bagh that swings shut too hard, a clinic entrance in Rohini that will not close, a shower door in a Dwarka flat that drops a little more each month. Sometimes it is the emergency: a toughened panel shattered overnight in a dust storm. Either way, the first step is the same, and it does not need anyone to come over.
Why repairs start on WhatsApp, not with a visit
Most glass faults can be read from a photo. Oil around a floor plate, a hinge that has turned green, a crack that starts from a corner, a door that sits lower on one side: each tells us the part and the panel size we need. So for the repair family, you send pictures and a short video of the door moving, and the team replies with the next step. The paid site visit is only for new installations that need measuring.
| What you send | What it tells us |
|---|---|
| A photo of the whole door or panel | Type of glass, fittings and how it is fixed |
| A close-up of the floor plate or hinges | Brand and size of the spring or hinge, and if it is leaking |
| A 10-second video of the door opening and closing | Whether it is a spring, pivot or alignment problem |
| Rough width and height with a tape | Panel size, so glass can be priced |
The five repair services, and where they come up in Delhi

Market doors take a beating
A glass entrance in a busy Delhi market such as Lajpat Nagar Central Market, Kamla Nagar or Sarojini Nagar may open and close several hundred times a day, often pushed hard and left to swing. The floor spring under it carries the full weight of a 12mm door, and over time its oil seal fails. The signs are well known: the door closes too fast, will not close by itself, or there is oil leaking around the floor spring. A spring that is leaking is replaced, not refilled.
After a dust storm or a break-in
Delhi's pre-monsoon aandhi can slam open doors and windows hard enough to break glass, and a single impact on the edge of a toughened panel can make it shatter into small pieces. Toughened glass cannot be cut once tempered, so a new panel is made to the measured size, which takes around 7–10 days. While you wait, a shopfront may need temporary boarding; tell us when you send the photo so it can be discussed. For a cracked window pane in ordinary plain glass, the turnaround is usually quicker because plain glass is cut to size.
Shower doors in hard-water bathrooms
Hinges are the weak point of a shower door, especially where the water is hard. Scale builds up in the hinge, the door stiffens, then it begins to sag or stick. Replacing the hinge pair usually restores it without touching the glass, whoever installed it originally.

Common questions
How much does glass door repair cost in Delhi?
Repairs are quoted per job from photos, because the cost depends on the part (floor spring, hinge, patch fitting), the glass size and the access. Send a photo of the door and a short video of it opening and closing on WhatsApp, and the team will reply with the next step and the quote. There is no paid site visit for repairs.
Do I need to book a site visit for a glass repair?
No. Repairs are handled from photos and videos on WhatsApp. The paid site visit is only for new installations that need measuring. If the team needs exact dimensions for a replacement panel, they will tell you what to measure or arrange the next step with you.
My shop's glass door closes with a bang. Can it be fixed?
Usually, yes. A door that slams is most often a floor spring whose closing speed needs adjusting or whose oil seal has failed. If there is oil on the floor plate, the spring generally needs replacing. A short video of the door closing lets the team tell you which it is before anyone comes.
Toota hua toughened glass kitne din mein lagega?
Toughened glass is made to size and cannot be cut after tempering, so a replacement panel generally takes around 7–10 days to produce. Fitting it is then a short job. If it is a shopfront or main entrance, mention this when you send the photo so temporary protection can be discussed.
Can you replace a hinge on a shower door someone else installed?
Yes. Bathroom glass door hinge replacement is quoted per job, whoever fitted the original. Stiff, squeaking or dropping shower doors are usually down to worn or scaled hinges. Send a close-up of the hinges and a photo of the whole door, and mention the glass thickness if you know it.
Can a chip on the edge of a glass door be polished out?
No. Toughened glass cannot be ground or polished once tempered, and a chip on the edge weakens the whole panel. The safe repair is a new panel of the same size, reusing the existing fittings if they are sound. Avoid slamming the door until then, and keep people clear if the chip is large.
