What to Do When Your Window Shatters in Geelong

Emergency glass repair tips for homeowners and business owners in Geelong.


When a window breaks suddenly in your home or business, it can be stressful and unsafe — especially if it happens after hours. At Geelong Emergency Glass, we’re available 24/7 for fast response glass replacement, but here’s what you can do first to stay safe:

1. Prioritise Safety

Keep kids, pets, and others away from the glass. Wear shoes and gloves if you need to go near it, but don’t try to remove shards still stuck in the frame.

2. Secure the Area

Use cardboard, plywood or thick plastic to block the opening temporarily. This keeps out the weather and deters intruders until our glaziers arrive.

3. Take Photos for Insurance

Document the damage clearly — including wide shots and close-ups. This makes insurance claims faster and easier.

4. Contact Geelong Emergency Glass

We service all areas of Greater Geelong including Belmont, Highton, Lara, Ocean Grove, and the Bellarine Peninsula. Most standard glass can be replaced on the spot. If custom glass is needed, we’ll board up and return promptly.
