    Hi,
    Got home yesterday to find someone had scratched the main front window. Bottom right.
    Looks like a kid scribbled with a small sharp stone or something similar. Scratch not deep, but its a scribble.
    Anyone any tips?
    Or do I need to replace the whole pane of glass. Its pretty big, maybe 8*6 feet. How much would that cost?
    Thanks

    I've seen ads where car windscreen co's can make almost invisible repairs to stone chipped windscreens so you might have some luck there.

    No idea of replacement cost

    there is an old trick of rubbing brasso into a scratch. never thried it but heard a lot of people talking about it before.

    the brasso that has the fibres in it already not the liquid stuff.

    So you reckon a replacement is the only way to go?

    pair of sunglasses... You will never notice.... Joking aside is it that bad...

    Can you switch the glass around that the scratch is above the blind and you will never notice.... A lot cheaper...
