Damaged glass is stressful enough without an unclear repair process.
A broken window, door or fixed panel may be covered by insurance, but cover depends on the policy, cause of damage and applicable excess. Your insurer, not the glazier, decides whether a claim is accepted.
Jim's Glass can assess the glazing work, identify the replacement required and provide a quote. Once approval and payment arrangements are clear, a local glazier can complete the agreed work.
If the property is unsafe or exposed, start with emergency glass replacement. For planned work, see our glass replacement service and what is covered by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

- Your insurer has asked for a quote

Insurance glass replacement questions
Does home insurance cover broken glass?
It may, but cover depends on your policy, the cause of the damage, exclusions and your excess. Check the policy or contact your insurer before assuming the repair will be paid for.
Should I contact my insurer before booking a replacement?
For non-urgent work, usually yes. Ask whether they need approval or a quote before repairs begin. If the glass is dangerous or the property cannot be secured, follow the insurer's emergency instructions and arrange make-safe work if needed.
Can Jim's Glass lodge the insurance claim for me?
Jim's Glass can assess the glazing and provide quotes or job details, but cannot decide policy cover. Claim lodgement and approval stay between you and your insurer unless a specific arrangement has been confirmed.
Will I need to pay an excess?
That depends on your policy and the claim decision. Compare the excess with the quoted repair cost and ask your insurer how payment should be handled.
Can Jim's Glass invoice my insurer directly?
Direct billing is not automatic. Payment arrangements depend on the insurer and local service arrangements, so confirm who will receive and pay the invoice before work begins.
Who organises glass repairs in a rental or strata property?
Contact the owner, property manager, strata manager or nominated insurer before approving non-urgent work. If the glass is unsafe, arrange make-safe help and notify the responsible party as soon as possible.
