jude Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 What would be a reasonable price to pay for getting a piece of glass cut. Size 375mm x 895mm and I guess it needs to be 6mm thick. Does anyone know where I could get a piece cheaply in the Wellington area? I rang a few places today and was quoted between $55 and $69 and I'm not willing to pay that for a top for a grotty old tank.

Alan Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I'd do that for $25.00 Jude Those quotes are expensive considering that it would come out of their scrap Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted September 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Thanks Alan, that confirms what I thought. Pity you aren't in Wellington .... LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter McLeod Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Try your local re-cycling centre for cheap glass.I pay about $2 a sheet here in Rotorua, usually old shelving glass from shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jo Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Peter at Port Nicholson Glass. He is in Lower Hutt and has a constant supply of recycled glass. Also makes the best priced tanks in the area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 Yup, he's good. I got a 4foot sump made with a couple partitions, a little wider than the average for $130. Although, he made it 50mm longer than I wanted. Probably due to lack of communication, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Peter a mate and i've put a lot of these people onto him. Tell him 'Saltwater Mark' sent you and he will look after you. Also if you a memeber of a club (say like Kapi Mana in Wellington) he will do the best price he can. Pies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted September 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Thanks everyone. I've been trying to get hold of Port Nicholson Glass but get no reply. I've been ringing the number in the book - 9399030. Is that the correct one or has the number changed? Thanks for the suggestion about recycling places too. I will give that a go if I can't get hold of Peter Cheers Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Thats his number. Hes not always at work, often out fixing windows and delivering tanks etc. He will sort you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 It looks like he's all on his own there, so I guess if he's not there noone answers. He needs to get an answering machine or a cellphone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
