Glaziers & Glass Repairs in Tauranga

First Glass Solutions is based right here in Tauranga. When a window gets smashed in Brookfield or a shower screen fails in Pyes Pa, you're calling a local, family-owned team, not a franchise dispatching someone from out of town. That's why most standard repairs around the city can be done same-day: we're already here.

Tauranga packs a century of housing into one city, and each era breaks differently. The villas and character bungalows around the Avenues, Otumoetai and Matua still carry original single-glazed timber sashes: we reglaze them properly, cutting out the old putty, matching obscure and patterned glass as closely as possible, and leaving the timber tidy. The brick-and-tile and weatherboard homes of Greerton, Gate Pā and Welcome Bay mostly run aluminium joinery and ranch sliders, where cracked slider panels and worn glazing rubbers are the usual culprits. And in the newer subdivisions (The Lakes, Tauriko, Ohauiti), it's double glazing: when an IGU fogs up between the panes or one face cracks, we replace the sealed unit itself rather than the whole window.

On the commercial side, we look after shopfronts and offices along Cameron Road, in the CBD and around Greerton village, as well as premises out at the Tauriko business area: glass replacement, safety-glass compliance, and after-hours board-ups that keep your site secure until the new glass goes in.

Renovations keep us as busy as repairs. Tauranga homes are being opened up and modernised street by street, and glass is usually somewhere in the plan: a frameless shower where a tired framed unit used to be, mirrors for a new wall of wardrobes, a splashback behind the new bench, a balustrade replacing the deck rail that blocked the view, or a pool fence signed off before summer. Pet doors are the small job we do most often: cut into an existing glass door and finished the same visit.

And when things go wrong (a spring westerly, a break-in, a backyard mishap), the emergency side kicks in. We board up broken windows and shopfronts across Tauranga around the clock, make the site safe, then come back with the right glass. If it's an insurance job, we deal with your insurer directly so the claim doesn't stall on paperwork.

Behind it all: a family-owned team, 40+ years of combined glazing experience, a 5.0-star Google rating, free onsite measures and quotes, and a proper clean-up before we leave, on every job, in every suburb.
