Busted My Tank

[Mongwopman]

So i am an absolute tool who managed to bump and chip my standing tank. Nothing in the tank thankfully, however there is now a huge chip where the front and side panels are siliconed together and a running crack on the front!!! Yes i am dumbass!
:'(
Where can i get a quote on a new sheet? Any ideas how much a sheet is going to cost and anyone who could come and repair it for me. I would do it myself, but i know i wont do a good enough job and will just need someone to come and do it anyway.

Measurement are:

L - 106.5cm
H - 50.5cm

I am still so pissed off with myself!!!!

Hello,

It's actually very easy to repair tanks.. well, it is after you have managed to remove any plastic mouldings/edgings etc. I've repaired/rebuilt a few over the last couple of years.

If you do decide to do it yourself then just ask here and I'll run through the methods that I use.

Your local glaziers will be able to supply glass of the correct grade and thickness. Prices will vary, so it may pay to shop around a bit.
I'd recommend that you don't use a thinner sheet than is fitted.. If the tank has imperial size glass, then get the next thicker metric size.

If you want to go the diy route, then I'd take the broken sheet (or enough of it to allow accurate measurements to be made) to the glaziers, and they will be able to make an exact duplicate.

Good luck.
