Reglazing Solutions
Do you have a frame you love? Or just can’t find anything you like as much? Here at Costspex Opticians Durham we can reglaze your existing frame to either update your prescription or replace scratched lenses, though please note we will need your latest in-date prescription to carry out the work. Whether your frames are a treasured designer pair, a style you simply cannot find anywhere else, or just a fit that works perfectly for you, our skilled team will assess them carefully and let you know whether a reglaze is possible before any work begins.
We will check the frame over first to make sure it is in good enough condition to carry the new lenses, as any reglaze is carried out at your own risk, which is why we take the time to inspect the frame thoroughly beforehand. It is a cost-effective and straightforward way to refresh your glasses without having to start from scratch, and our team will be happy to talk you through the process and answer any questions you have.

What Types of Lenses Can Be Reglazed
At Costspex, we offer reglazing across a wide range of lens types, so whatever your prescription requires there is likely an option to suit you. Single vision lenses are the most straightforward reglaze and are available from £35, making it an excellent value way to update a pair of frames you already own. Bifocal and varifocal reglazes are also available, giving those with more complex prescriptions the same opportunity to hold on to frames they love.
For those with rimless frames, we offer a specialist rimless reglaze starting from £125, reflecting the additional care and precision required to work with this style. We can also reglaze sunglasses from £45, and transition or photochromic lenses from £85 for those who prefer lenses that adapt automatically between indoors and outdoors. As an independent practice not tied to a single supplier, our team can source the right lenses for your reglaze at genuinely competitive prices, whatever the prescription type.
How the Reglaze Process Works
Bringing your frames in for a reglaze at Costspex is a straightforward process, and our team will guide you through every step from start to finish. When you come in, we will first check your frames carefully to make sure they are in good enough condition to carry new lenses safely, as any reglaze is carried out at your own risk and we want to be upfront about that before any work begins. You will need to bring your latest in-date prescription with you, as we are unable to carry out a reglaze without one.
If your prescription has expired, we can arrange a comprehensive eye test at our Durham practice to bring it up to date before we proceed. Once we have confirmed the frame is suitable and the prescription is in order, we will discuss the lens options available to you, including any upgrades such as anti-reflection or scratch-resistant coatings, and give you a clear price before anything is agreed. There are no hidden costs and no pressure, just honest guidance and a high-quality finish.
Why Choose Costspex for Your Eye Test

Frequently Asked Questions
Below are answers to some of the questions we are asked most often about our glasses reglaze service. If there is anything else you would like to know, our team is always happy to help.
A glasses reglaze involves fitting new lenses into your existing frames, either to update your prescription or to replace lenses that have become scratched or worn. It is a cost-effective alternative to buying a completely new pair of glasses, and is ideal if you have frames you are particularly attached to or simply cannot find a style you prefer as much. At Costspex, our skilled and experienced team carries out reglazes across a wide range of lens types and prescriptions, so it is always worth getting in touch to find out whether your frames are suitable.
Not all frames are suitable for reglazing, which is why we always check the condition of your frames thoroughly before any work begins. If a frame is worn, damaged or too fragile to carry new lenses safely, we will let you know honestly before proceeding. Any reglaze is carried out at your own risk, and we are always upfront about this so you can make an informed decision. Rimless frames can also be reglazed, though these require additional care and precision and are priced accordingly from £125.
You will need to bring your frames and your latest in-date prescription. We are unable to carry out a reglaze without a current prescription, so if yours has expired it will need to be renewed before we can proceed. If you are unsure whether your prescription is still valid, our team will be happy to advise you, and we can arrange a comprehensive eye test at our Durham practice to bring it up to date if needed.
We offer reglazing across a full range of lens types including single vision from £35, bifocal from £65, varifocal from £85, rimless from £125, sunglasses from £45 and transition or photochromic lenses from £85. We are also able to discuss lens upgrades such as anti-reflection or scratch-resistant coatings when you come in. As an independent practice not tied to a single supplier, our team can source the best value lenses for your prescription and budget.
Our reglaze prices start from £35 for a single vision reglaze, making it a genuinely cost-effective way to refresh your glasses without replacing your frames. Bifocal reglazes start from £65, varifocal from £85, rimless from £125, sunglasses from £45 and transition or photochromic from £85. All prices are discussed and agreed with you before any work begins, so there are never any hidden costs or surprises.

Whether you need a single vision, bifocal or varifocal reglaze, we have options to suit your prescription, and we can also reglaze sunglasses and transition or photochromic lenses. If you are unsure whether your frames are suitable, the best thing to do is bring them in and our team will check them over before any work begins. If your prescription has expired, we can arrange a comprehensive eye test at our Durham practice to bring it up to date first.
