Re: Picture Framer.
Reglazing will involve dismantling the frame at two opposite corners, placing a sheet of glass and reassembling the frame. Frames are held together with small tacks.
It is not an impossible task for a lay person to achieve. The skill is getting the correct size of glass.
When I used Oswaldtwistle Glass to replace a mirror, I watched as they did it. The mirror had been accidentally knocked off the wall by men delivering a new washer, and the replacement cost was paid by insurers of the firm who supplied the washer - so it was logical for me to let them do it for me.
It is a sort of DIY job that I would otherwise have tackled myself. I don't recall how much it cost, but I know I got a better quality of glass/mirror as a replacement. No doubt mirrors are more expensive than plain glass anyway so even if I had remembered the cost, it wouldn't be a guideline to the cost of the job you need doing.
If you take the job to a picture framer, you will have to wait whilst he orders the glass from a glass merchant. It seems reasonable to cut out a 'middleman' to reduce cost.
