How to Use Our Glass Price Calculator

Getting an instant price for bespoke, cut-to-size glass has never been easier. Our Glass Price Calculator lets you configure any glass type, enter your exact dimensions, add processing extras, and receive a fully itemised quote — all in under two minutes, with no waiting for a callback or email.

Whether you are ordering a replacement window pane, a custom shower screen, a glass tabletop, or a bespoke mirror, this guide walks you through each step of the calculator so you can order with confidence.


Step 1 — Choose Your Glass Type

Start by selecting the category of glass that best suits your project. We offer seven glass types, each designed for different applications:

Glass Type Typical Uses Thickness Range
Toughened Glass Shower screens, balustrades, tabletops, windows 4mm – 19mm
Toughened Laminated Overhead glazing, high-security applications 9.5mm – 39.5mm
Laminate Glass Windows, doors, partitions, acoustic control 6.4mm – 16.8mm
Mirrors Bathrooms, wardrobes, feature walls 4mm & 6mm
Double Glazed Units Windows, doors, thermal insulation Custom build
Heritage DGU Listed buildings, conservation areas 5.5mm / 7mm sightline
Fire Rated Glass Fire doors, compartmentation, escape routes Quote only

Once you select a glass type, you will be prompted to choose a thickness and finish. As a general guide, 4mm is suitable for small window panes, while 8mm to 10mm is recommended for shower screens and tabletops. If you require true-colour clarity — for example, for back-painted glass splashbacks — select the Low Iron finish, which removes the natural green tint found in standard clear glass.

Step 1 — Choose Your Glass Type in the calculator

Step 1: Select your glass type, thickness, and finish


Step 2 — Enter Your Dimensions

Enter your required width and height in millimetres (mm). All glass is cut precisely to the measurements you provide, so please measure carefully before placing your order. Width is the horizontal measurement and height is the vertical measurement.

You can also select your shape — rectangle (standard), circle or oval, or irregular. Non-rectangular shapes carry a 25% surcharge to account for the additional cutting and waste involved.

Finally, enter your delivery postcode and click Check to confirm we deliver to your area and to see your delivery options.

Step 3 — Add Processing Extras

This step lets you customise your glass with professional processing options. Polished edges are included as standard on all orders, giving your glass a smooth, safe finish. The following additional options are available:

Processing Option What It Is Price
Dubbed Corners Corners lightly ground to remove sharp points Free
Radius Corners Smooth rounded corners for a premium finish Free (3mm or 5mm)
Holes / Drilling Precision drilled holes for fixings and hinges +£4 per hole
Cut-outs Notches or cut-outs for hinges, handles, or frames +£25+VAT each
Sandblasting Frosted, opaque finish for privacy or decoration +£40/m²
Ritec ClearShield Coating Protective coating — resists limescale and is easier to clean +£40/m²
Back Painting Coloured paint applied to the rear face for splashbacks +£75/m²

Step 3: Toggle any processing extras you need — polished edges are included as standard


Step 4 — Review Your Price and Order

The final step shows a fully transparent price breakdown. You can see the base glass cost, any processing extras, delivery, and VAT — all itemised clearly before you commit to anything. You can adjust the quantity, go back to edit your configuration, or add directly to your cart and proceed to our secure checkout.

Please note that orders for Toughened Glass, Toughened Laminated, and Mirrors carry a minimum order value of £150+VAT. If your configured glass falls below this threshold, a minimum order supplement will be shown in the breakdown. The easiest way to avoid this is to order multiple pieces in a single transaction.
