Palm Beach has plenty of small unit blocks, duplexes and townhouses close to the beach and the creeks, along with family houses on quieter streets. Two things shape most glass jobs here. Salt air works on frames, rollers and screws year after year. And many properties share driveways, stairwells and parking with neighbours. We take both into account, so the right glass is ordered and the job can be done without blocking anyone in.
Many smaller blocks have stairs and no lift, with sliding or awning windows on each level. We note the floor, the stair width and whether the glass can be reached from inside the unit. That decides how the glass is brought up and fitted safely.
Sliding doors to courtyards and patios hold toughened glass, made to measure. We read the stamp, check the track and rollers for salt damage, and confirm the frame can take the new panel before anything is ordered.
Frameless and semi-frameless pool fences use thick toughened glass held by spigots or clamps. A broken panel leaves a gap in the barrier. We check the fittings and spacing so the replacement lines up with the rest of the fence.
Holiday lets and family homes often have framed or semi-frameless shower screens and obscure bathroom windows. Screens must be safety glass. Photos of the screen, the hinges and any stamp help us work out what is needed.

Most units and townhouses here open to a balcony, courtyard or patio through an aluminium sliding door. The panels are toughened, and each one is made to order for its frame, so we measure and read the glass stamp first. Salt is hard on the moving parts. Rollers seize, locks stiffen and screws rust, and a door that drags puts strain on the glass every time it is pushed. When we replace a panel, we look at the whole door and tell you if the hardware also needs work. Glazed front doors and sidelights get the same safety-grade glass.
Get everyone clear of the broken glass first. If a pool fence panel has failed, the pool is no longer properly fenced, so keep children well away and block the gap. For a cracked slider, leave it shut and do not lean on it.
Take a photo of the full door, window or fence panel, then zoom in on the crack and the glass stamp. Then call 07 2111 7906 or send an online enquiry with your unit number and parking details.
Is it a sliding door, unit window, pool fence panel, shower screen or entry door? Tell us that, and whether the property is a unit, duplex, townhouse or house, plus the floor level.
We will explain the proposed next step, including any relevant glass requirements, access considerations and likely scheduling.
Once you are happy to proceed, the glass replacement can be scheduled. If the job is urgent, let us know at the first point of contact.
Glass type and panel size set the starting point. Pool fence panels and sliders are toughened and made to order, while a small window may take standard glass. Corroded rollers, locks or fixings that need replacing, and access up stairs or across shared areas, can also change the scope.
A frosted bathroom window in a ground-floor duplex is very different from a full-height slider carried up two flights of stairs. Photos and rough measurements let us explain the factors properly.
Toughened sliders, pool fence panels and shower screens are produced to order for each opening. Tinted or thicker glass can add to that. Plain glass for a small bathroom or bedroom window is usually simpler to arrange.
In a block with a shared driveway or stairwell, let your neighbours know when the work is planned, so cars, bins and walkways can be kept clear for carrying the glass in.
We start with your photos and work through the details in order. Each step answers a question about the glass or the access. That way the quote reflects the real job, not just the size of the broken pane.
Photograph the full opening, the break up close and the small stamp printed on the glass.
Tell us the floor level, whether there are stairs or a lift, and where a vehicle can park.
We confirm the type, thickness and safety grade, and flag any rollers, clamps or locks that need replacing.
After you give the go-ahead, the glass is produced to size and a time is booked that suits the building.

Fantastic experience with SYD City Glass. I needed someone to replace my broken glass door at home as an emergency matter. I called them outside normal business hours and was given a quote over the phone quickly. A glazier was sent out on the same day and the service was completed in the same visit. Highly recommended and will call again if I need their services again in the future.

Keep kids and pets out of the pool area and block the gap with something solid, such as temporary fencing. Do not use the pool area as normal. Send us photos of the gap, the fittings and the panels on either side, and mention that the pool barrier is affected.
Often, yes. Salt air corrodes rollers, locks, handles and screws, and a stiff door can contribute to the glass cracking. Point out the worn parts in your photos. We will tell you what can be replaced along with the glass and what might need a separate repair.
Windows and doors in shared stairwells, foyers and entries are usually common property, so the body corporate or its manager arranges and approves the work. If you spot a broken pane in a shared area, report it to them. We can then quote directly to whoever manages the building.
Sometimes. If the hinges, clamps and seals are in good condition and suit the new panel, they can often be reused. Toughened glass cannot be drilled after it is made, so the holes are positioned before toughening. Clear photos of the hardware help us check this.
Each has its own page. Head south for Coolangatta or north for Burleigh Heads, and inland you will find Robina. Whichever page you use, start by sending photos of the broken glass and a note about stairs, lifts and parking.
