How to Fix a Chipped Glass Coffee Table
Chipped glass coffee tables can be unsightly and can decrease the value of your furniture. But by using the right supplies and methods, fixing your glass table is easy and cost-effective. Here are the steps to follow to repair your chipped glass coffee table:
Materials Needed:
- Extra strength clear adhesive
- Clean cloth
- Powdered graphite
- Rubbing alcohol or window cleaner

Step 1: Clean the Surface
Use the rubbing alcohol or window cleaner and a clean cloth to thoroughly clean the chipped area of the table. Make sure the surface is completely dry before proceeding.
Step 2: Apply Adhesive
Using the extra-strength clear adhesive, carefully apply a thin coat to the edges. If the chip is particularly small, you can add a drop of the adhesive inside the crack as well.
Step 3: Place a Piece of Glass
With the adhesive still wet, place a small piece of glass over the affected area. Make sure to press down firmly and allow the adhesive to seep out from the edges.

Use a clean cloth and the rubbing alcohol or window cleaner to wipe off any excess adhesive that may have seeped out.
Step 5: Apply Graphite Powder
After the surface has dried, sprinkle some powdered graphite on the area to finish the repair job.
By following these steps, you can easily and quickly fix a chipped glass coffee table. With the right supplies and some patience, your table will look as good as new.
