In many cases a broken piece of glass in a stained glass panel can be replaced - almost invisibly - in situ - without needing to remove the panel from the door or window. However when there are more than maybe 4 or 5 pieces broken, where the panel is badly deformed, or when its in generally shaky condition, this is much more difficult, and it may be better to remove the panel, take it apart, and reassemble with all new lead, using as much of the original glass as possible.

If there are just one or two cracked pieces we generally suggest leaving them alone, unless there is some particular reason to replace them.

Particularly precious pieces - painted or stained pieces or moulded 'jewels' than have become broken can often be glued back together.
