How to Repair Scratches in Glass Tabletops

Accidents happen, and having a scratch on your glass tabletop can be an eyesore and diminish the quality of your furniture. Covering the glass tabletop with a fabric cover will reduce the chance of a scratch in the future. Depending on the weight of the item that scratched the glass and the depth of the scratch, removing the mark may require a little time and money. But don't give up on your glass tabletop without trying a few options to repair a scratch.

Instructions

  Apply a thin layer of nail polish to the scratch using the application brush. Allow the nail polish to dry for 5 minutes, and use nail polish remover to clean away excess polish. To remove excess polish, pour a dime-sized amount of nail polish remover on a clean cloth and wipe around the scratch.

  Buff Brasso cleaner into the scratch. For tougher scratches, Brasso Multi-Purpose Metal Polish can reduce the appearance of the scratch. Pour three to four drops of the Brasso cleaner onto a clean cloth, and buff the scratch in a circular motion. Use a part of the cloth that doesn't have cleaner to wipe the scratched area. Repeat if the scratch remains.
