For home and business glass: windows, doors, shopfronts, shower screens. Not car windscreens.
Short answer: a broken or cracked window pane is replaced rather than repaired. Glazewell, a Perth glazier, puts a standard clear float pane at $280–$450 supplied and installed. Tell us the suburb, what broke and whether the window is secure, and we pass your request to one local glazing business.
How much does window glass replacement cost in Perth?
For window glass replacement, Glazewell, a Perth glazier, publishes $280–$1,400 per pane supplied and installed, depending on size, glass type and access. hipages gives a national figure of around $150–$550 for a single pane of standard float glass.
Sliding windows are usually the least expensive to reglaze. Double-hung sashes, bay windows and bi-folds cost more because of the hardware. Upper-storey access adds to labour. Hourly rates, per-square-metre glass prices and minimum fees are in our guide to glass replacement costs.

What should I do tonight if a window breaks?
Keep children and pets out of the room, wear closed shoes and thick gloves, and don't pull loose shards from the frame. Photograph the damage. If it is safe, cover the opening from outside with board or heavy plastic.
If anyone is hurt, or a crime is in progress, call 000. For a break-in that has already happened, WA Police take reports on 131 444 or online. The safety steps here are general guidance, not official advice. Full checklist: broken window: what to do now. Claiming? Read broken window insurance claims before paying for temporary work.
Can I replace window glass in an aluminium frame myself?
We would leave it to a glazier. Broken glass cuts badly, and depending on where the window is, AS 1288 may require safety glass for the new pane. A glazier measures the opening, supplies glass that suits the spot, fits it and takes the broken pane away.
Whether a cracked pane can stay in for now is covered in repair or replace window glass.
Is Low-E glass worth it for a hot west-facing window?
It can be. hipages describes Low-E glass as filtering infrared radiation, helping keep a home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Glazewell lists Low-E panes at $450–$800 in Perth, against $280–$450 for clear float, supplied and installed.
For low windows and glass near doors, Glazewell says toughened glass is required by code; see laminated vs toughened glass.
Do old timber sash windows cost more to reglaze?
Yes, usually. hipages says reglazing timber windows costs more because the work is more labour-intensive than aluminium, and glaziers often find rotting timber once the glass is out. Glazewell lists double-hung sash panes at $350–$700.
Older homes in Guildford and Fremantle are where timber sashes are most likely. Mention the frame type on the form.
