I tried Specsavers (where they were originally purchased) but they wanted €100 for a new frame. Tried another couple of opticians but they just said to go back to Specsavers.

Frame isn't actually damaged, the hinge just snapped off on one side. I want to just cut it off and superglue a new hinge on.

Was thinking I could get a cheap pair in one of the EuroShops/Penneys and cut the hinge off but I can only find ones where the hinge is part of the full frame and not a seperate glued on piece.

If you know your prescription, a new pair can be had cheap as chips from goggles4u.co.uk.

Otherwise, the key cutting service in Upr. Mallow Street has helped me out in the past with similar repair jobs.
