What is glasses reglazing?
Reglazing means fitting new lenses into the frames you already own, without needing a new pair or a trip to the high street from Essex. It suits you if your lenses are scratched or your prescription has changed, but you still love your frames.
You save money because you are not buying new frames, and you keep a pair that already fits you. We recommend and routinely apply anti-reflective coating to scratch-resistant lenses.
“They replaced my lenses and did an excellent job for a reasonable price that took less than 5 days.”

Your lens options
Lenses we can fit in your frames
Start with your prescription, then choose what suits how you use your glasses.
Single vision
One prescription across the whole lens, for distance or reading. This is our simplest and lowest priced option.
Varifocals
Clear vision at every distance in one pair. Zeiss, Hoya and Essilor each have their own designs, and we help you choose by how you use your glasses.
Thinner lenses
High-index lenses keep a stronger prescription slimmer in your frames.
Tints and photochromic
Clear to tinted, lenses that darken in the sun, or full sunglasses from the frames you already own.
Computer and office
Lenses such as Zeiss Office focus on your screen and desk, and can include a coating that lessens blue light.
Driving lenses
Zeiss DriveSafe and its Hoya and Essilor equivalents reduce glare from headlights and streetlights.
The from £12 price is for single vision lenses in standard thickness in full rim frames. The price rises for high-index lenses, tints, varifocals and photochromic lenses, and you see it online before you send anything.

FAQs
Glasses reglazing in Essex: FAQs
Do you serve all of Essex?
Yes. Our service is available across Essex, including smaller towns like Wickford, Chigwell and Canvey Island.
What if my prescription is complicated or unusual?
No problem. We offer a wide range of lens types and coatings, and we can talk you through what suits your prescription before you order.
What is glasses reglazing?
Reglazing means fitting new lenses into the frames you already own. New, vintage or favourite frames can all be fitted, whether they are full rim, semi-rimless or rimless, and the size and shape of your lenses can be replicated.
How much does reglazing cost?
Reglazing starts from £12 in full rim frames, £18 in semi rimless frames and £30 in rimless frames. That is for single vision lenses in standard thickness, with no tint or specialised treatment besides anti-reflective coating. The price rises for thinner high-index lenses, tints, varifocals and photochromic lenses. You see your price online before you send anything.
How long does reglazing take?
Usually 5 to 7 working days from collection to delivery, and we keep you updated throughout.
Can you reglaze designer frames?
Yes, we work with most designer and high street brands. If your frames are in good condition we can likely reglaze them, and we confirm this before any work starts.
Can I get reglazing done the same day?
Sometimes. Fresh single vision lenses can be part of our same day service, but varifocals, bifocals, high-index lenses and some coatings are not usually available the same day. Call or WhatsApp us with your prescription and we will tell you what is possible.
Do you accept NHS vouchers?
Yes, we accept NHS vouchers on eligible eyewear purchases.
