scratches on glass dining table

searchlight123

advice please.
we are gutted. we have a new (within 4 weeks) clear glass topped dining table, 12mm glass.
we have tried to be really careful but somehow (i blame the wife, she blames me!!) we have ended up with 4 scratches on this table measuring from 1" in length to around 4".
they are not deep but you can just feel the edge of them with your nail.
i have tried to look on line for someone to come out and polish out these scratches (assuming that's possible?) but with no success as any companies i've found seem to be large firms dealing with commercial projects rather than a small domestic job.
i live in east london / essex if anyone has any recommendations or advice please.
i really am not keen on trying something myself that could potentially make matters a lot worse (my life just wouldn't be worth living!!) unless someone has used a method that does actually work?

many thanks for any advice.

I have used Brasso in the past to remove minor scratches on glass. It is abrasive so you need to be careful with it. If the table is your pride & joy & new it might not be a great idea to try it. I done it on an older bit of glass but it worked fine.

I have also used Brasso to polish out scratches on watch faces & it was fine.

Good Luck

Contact a company called 'Glasweld' they do scratch repairs on glass, they might have someone in your area that has the kit for doing it.
Not cheap at about £50/hour though.

Accidental damage insurance job?

I nervously used a glass polishing kit to remove some very obvious scratches from my windscreen. It involves the use of this product (others are available) along with the lint disc supplied in the kit and an electric drill spinning at ~2000 rpm :eek:

Can be used on any type of glass including toughened glass.

A bit time consuming but it did the job :j I spent about 2 hours on it (have to keep pausing to prevent too much heat build up)

This is not a recommendation, (wouldn't want blaming if it all went wrong) but have a look, watch the videos.

Note that if you can feel the scratches with your finger nail, there are other kits that also contain various, ever so slightly, abrasive discs, sounds scary (presume you then finish using the polishing kit) . . . .
