Frequently Asked Questions

We always aim to install glass 10 - 15 working days following point of survey. However, there can be exceptions to this depending on the product. Toughened mirror, for example has a 4 - 6 week manufacturing lead time. Also, glass is a volatile material to work with and there can be hiccups during the manufacturing process which could extend the lead time slightly. However, these instances are very few and far between.

Back-painted glass - 4400mm

We have a library of standard colours but are able to colour match to most popular paint brands such as Dulux and Farrow & Ball. We can also colour match to any RAL numbers. 

There is a vast selection of images and effects available on Shutterstock. If you have an idea of a particular effect you'd like we can assist you in finding the perfect match. Visit www.shutterstock.com to start getting ideas.

We are able to provide both gloss and matt finishes. Gloss glass has a reflective, shiny finish and satin gives a frosted finish which doesn't have a reflective quality.

We can give a fairly precise idea of cost from photos and some rough dimensions. Simply email to enquiries@theglassmithwales.co.uk 

All prices are subject to site survey.

We ask for a 50% deposit via bank transfer to confirm a survey and get your glass put into production. We then invoice for the remaining 50% following successful installation of the glass. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer any kind of credit.

Absolutely not! We can install glass splashbacks and worktops into existing kitchens. They are a more affordable way of giving your kitchen a makeover without the need to change the entire room. The same can be said for any room in the house that you might like glass added to, whether it's a bathroom, living room or bedroom.
