So much here is new that repair work looks nothing like it does in the old parts of the city. It is rarely wear. It is a panel chipped while the flat was being finished. Or a shower door hung by whoever finished the bathroom, and never set right. Both are worth fixing early rather than living with.
A chipped edge in a brand new flat
A chipped or cracked toughened panel is worth replacing, not watching. Toughened glass is safety glass. Damage to the edge takes away its strength, and it does not crack slowly. When it breaks, it breaks fully.
On a stair railing in a villa, or a full-height panel beside a walkway, that is not a risk worth taking.
If the damage happened at handover, take a photo before anything is moved. It is far easier to raise with a builder while the site office is still on the project than a year later.
Builder-fitted doors that were never adjusted
A very common call here is a shower door that slides open, will not latch, or catches from the day it was fitted.
That is almost never the glass. It is a hinge out of line. Or a floor spring never adjusted. Or a track that was not set level before the door went on.
Setting it right is usually a short visit. Send a short video of the door moving. We can normally tell you the cause before anyone travels. That is quicker for you than a visit just to look.
