      Not surface paint

      Acid graffiti burns into the glass, so normal cleaning products cannot wipe it away.

      Faster than replacement

      Professional polishing can restore suitable glass without waiting for a replacement pane.

      Business-ready finish

      Removing the frosted mark helps restore a clean, cared-for shopfront or entrance.

      Specialist acid-etch glass repair

      Acid graffiti leaves permanent surface damage. Polishing removes it.

      Acid-etch graffiti uses an acidic compound to attack the glass surface, leaving a rough, white or frosted mark.

      Because the glass itself has been damaged, solvents and ordinary cleaning cannot remove it.

      Our specialized acid etch graffiti removal services are designed to restore your glass without the need for costly replacements, ensuring your windows look clean, professional, and inviting once again.

      Before and after example:

      Acid etched graffiti Repair. Some things are best if you see them for yourself.

      No damage we deal with stands out as much as an acid etched graffiti tag.

      The acid burns into the surface of the glass leaving a frosted effect that looks like white paint but is unable to be cleaned off, making it perfect for graffiti vandalisum.

      ClearAll removes acid etch graffiti the same way we remove scratches from any glass surface, by using professional sanding and polishing techniques, restoring your glass and saving the disruption of replacement.

      The image below is a ‘Before and After’ acid etched graffiti removal from the front window of a well know fast food restaurant, now needing to be replaced due to the tag.

      Being a shop front this would not only cost £1000’s but also mean store closure whilst the works were completed.

      ClearAll restored the window in a couple of hours, saving our customer over 90% of the cost of replacement and even more when compared to the cost of closing a store.

      How acid graffiti removal works

      Three controlled phases. From frosted damage to clear glass.

      Removing acid etch graffiti from glass through professional glass polishing is a fast, affordable, and effective solution.

      Instead of facing the high costs and long wait times associated with complete glass replacement, polishing offers a far more convenient option that delivers the same result in a matter of hours.

      Choosing professional polishing allows you to restore your glass and your image, not only much quicker, but also at a fraction of the cost of replacement.

      1. Assess and protect

      We clean the glass, check etch depth and coatings, then protect frames, seals and the surrounding area.

      2. Remove the etching

      Controlled sanding removes the glass beneath the acid damage before finer abrasives refine the repair.

      3. Polish and inspect

      Specialist compound restores clarity. We clean and inspect the glass before completion.

      Really pleased with the job Matt did to get my loft window and balustrade glass as good as new. He explained the process and potential outcomes clearly. Arrived promptly and cleaned up afterward. Fitted in an extra small repair with no fuss. Would be happy to recommend and a lot cheaper and less hassle than replacing the glass. I also learned how to clean windows properly! Worth the money.

      We have a 'Calligaris' glass topped dining table which over the years has suffered a number of small scratches in one corner. These were hidden by table mats and serviettes until we called in ClearAll Glass Repairs Ltd. After the polishing I can no longer identify where they were! We highly recommend ClearAll Glass Repairs Ltd. We found the technician very professional, courteous and Friendly.

      Acid graffiti removal questions.

      These answers explain why acid etching cannot be cleaned away and how we assess a repair.

      Can acid graffiti be cleaned off glass?

      No. Acid graffiti chemically etches the glass surface. It must be removed through controlled sanding and polishing rather than ordinary cleaning.

      Often, yes. Suitable flat glass can normally remain installed while the damaged surface is restored, reducing replacement time and disruption.

      Many acid-etched marks can be removed completely, but depth, edge position, coatings and glass type affect suitability. We assess the likely result before work begins.

      Send clear photographs, approximate dimensions, the number of affected panes, the property location and any access or opening-hour restrictions.
