Alligator Glass: Bayside Melbourne’s Trusted Family Glaziers Since 1988

In the heart of Cheltenham, on busy Bay Road, sits a family-owned business that has quietly shaped the look of countless Bayside homes and commercial spaces for nearly four decades. Alligator Glass Pty Ltd has been delivering high-quality glazing solutions across Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs since 1988, earning a reputation for craftsmanship, reliability and genuine customer care.

What began as a local glass service has grown into a full-service glazier offering everything from elegant frameless shower screens and custom-coloured splashbacks to sleek pool fencing and architectural balustrades. Today the team continues to serve homeowners, builders, architects and commercial clients with the same personal attention that defined the business from the start.

A Family Business Built on Experience

Alligator Glass is proudly family-owned and operated. With more than 25 years of continuous service in the Bayside area (and approaching 40 years since establishment), the company has built deep local knowledge and strong relationships. Customers frequently praise the friendly, professional approach of the team, with one recent Google review noting that “the owner Rob is a top bloke.” That personal touch remains central to the Alligator Glass experience.

The business operates from its showroom and workshop at Unit 1, 249 Bay Road, Cheltenham VIC 3192. Clients are welcome to visit, view samples, discuss projects and receive expert advice face-to-face. A no-obligation free measure and quote service makes the first step straightforward and risk-free.

Comprehensive Glazing Services for Home and Business

Alligator Glass specialises in a wide range of residential and commercial glazing solutions. Their work spans new builds, renovations, replacements and repairs, with a strong focus on both aesthetics and practicality.

Frameless Shower Screens Clean lines and open space define modern bathrooms, and frameless shower screens remain one of Alligator Glass’s most popular offerings. Using high-quality toughened glass, the team creates seamless enclosures that enhance light and create a spa-like feel. Hardware is carefully selected for durability and style, ensuring a flawless finish that lasts.

 

Glass Splashbacks Kitchen and laundry splashbacks are another specialty. Alligator Glass supplies and installs custom-made splashbacks in toughened or float glass, available in white, coloured or crystal-clear Starfire options that minimise the green tinge found in standard glass. These splashbacks are practical as well as beautiful — they resist moisture, eliminate grout lines that can harbour mould, and clean easily (the team even recommends their Glass Gator Juice cleaning product). Whether matching existing cabinetry or creating a bold statement feature, the results are tailored to each space.

 

Glass Pool Fencing and Balustrades Outdoor living is elevated with frameless or semi-frameless glass pool fences that meet Australian safety standards while preserving views. Stair and balcony balustrades are another strength, offering both residential and commercial solutions with options for different fixing methods, rail heights and finishes, including sandblasting or etching if required. The glass is tough yet clear, delivering safety without compromising design.

 

Additional Services The team also handles mirrors, glass partitions (bedroom or office), shopfronts, display units, tabletops, repairs and replacements, and more specialised work such as bent or curved glass. Australian-sourced materials and careful installation ensure quality and compliance.
