Glass doors are widely used in modern home spaces because of their transparent and stylish visual effects. Whether it is a balcony sliding door, a kitchen partition door, or a shower room door, the glass door can enhance the sense of space and lighting while enhancing the overall sense of luxury of the decoration. However, although glass is hard, it is not scratch-proof. Carelessness in daily life, such as children's play, pets' scratching, and contact with sharp objects, will leave headaches on glass doors.

Scratches not only affect the appearance, but may also weaken the strength of the glass in severe cases. Fortunately, most minor scratches can be repaired with some simple and practical household methods. Here are some practical glass door scratch repair techniques to help you easily restore the facade to a new finish.

Determine The Depth Of The Scratch

Before you start, you first need to determine the extent of the scratch. You can use your fingernail to gently scratch the scratched surface:

If the nail does not feel the dent, it means that it is a shallow scratch on the surface, which is relatively simple to repair;

If there is a noticeable dent, it is a deep scratch, which may require more complex treatment or even replacement.

The following methods are mainly suitable for shallow scratches, which are the most common in daily life.
