Please help! Last week we had a new front door fitted by someone we found
through checkatrade. The door came glazed but untreated. He primed and
then gloss painted for us. It was dark when he left and it looked ok.
However, on looking at it in dalylight, I can now see that whilst he used
tape around the
edges, nonetheless both the primer and gloss red paint have got in behind
the
glass (I.e. Between the two pains of glass) and it looks terrible.
Completely
ruins the affect as it looks shoddy and messy. I am absolutely gutted at
having spent the money on materials and the labour to end up with a poor
quality job that seemingly we can't do anything about.

Why can't you do anything about it ?

Any advice as to possible solutions would be gratefully received.

Make the bugger redo it until its done properly, at his cost.

I can only think of eventually having the door reglazed,

Or start again with a new one which treated before its glazed.

or buying sticky backed frosted glass effect stickers to put over the
pains but don't really want to do this as it defeats the point in going
for totally clear glazing in the first place and is likely to look cheap.

Yes, that would look even worse.

No idea what it would cost to reglaze the door - I suspect more than the
door itself is worth.

Quite possibly.
