Insurance for Glaziers and Glass Installers
Glazier Insurance protects glass professionals from the financial risks of property damage, personal injury, and equipment loss. Whether you install windows, shopfronts, mirrors, splashbacks or shower screens, glaziers insurance protects your reputation, your tools, and your income.
Do Glaziers Need Insurance?
Yes — working with glass comes with sharp risks — literally. Glaziers work with fragile, sharp, and heavy materials in people’s homes, public buildings and retail spaces, and one crack, cut, or trip could cost thousands if you’re not covered. Breakages, on-site injuries, and client property damage can lead to expensive claims. Whether you’re doing domestic, commercial or high-rise glazing, we make it easy to get fast, tailored insurance for Public Liability, Tools, Vehicles, and Personal Accident.

What Insurance Does a Glazier Need?
In addition to public liability insurance, which covers your business for property damage or personal injury that a third party suffers as a result of your work activities, the type of insurance you need depends on various factors relevant to your business. Here are the most common types of insurance for glaziers and glass repairers in Australia:
Public Liability
Protects you if someone is injured or if you damage client property while working. For example, glass panels falling.
General Property (Tools Insurance)
Covers suction lifters, cutting tools, glass racks, drills, polishers and more — whether in your ute or on-site.
Personal Accident
If you’re cut, strain yourself lifting, or fall while installing glass, this cover ensures you still receive an income while recovering.
Commercial Motor Insurance
Covers your vehicle and the specialised racks, trailers or equipment you use to transport glass safely.
How Much Does Glazier Insurance Cost?
The cost of glazier insurance depends on factors such as the type of work you do, your tools, the area you service and the amount of cover required. Most glaziers, glass repairers and contractors find they can get the cover they need with annual and monthly payment options generally available, depending on the insurer.
