Our Glasses & Lenses Warranty

Carefully made eyewear deserves reliable aftercare. Here is exactly what our warranty covers, how the optional extension works, and how we can help if something goes wrong.

✓ 1 year included✓ Manufacturing-defect cover✓ UK customer support
How to make a claim
INCLUDED WITH ELIGIBLE ORDERS 1 YEAR

Manufacturing warranty on Royal Specs-supplied frames and lenses.

OPTIONAL UPGRADE AT CHECKOUT 2 YEARS

Extended manufacturing-defect cover for an additional £25, where available and selected.

01 / YOUR COVER

Made with care. Backed by us.

Our standard warranty covers qualifying manufacturing defects in Royal Specs-supplied eyewear under normal use, for 12 months from the original purchase date. If something isn't right, we'll assess the issue and explain the next steps.

Glasses frames

Defects in the materials or workmanship of frames supplied by Royal Specs, including a qualifying manufacturing-related structural failure.

Prescription lenses

Eligible manufacturing defects affecting lenses we have supplied, including issues that result from incorrect manufacture rather than accidental damage.

Lens coatings

Qualifying manufacturing defects such as coating peeling, cracking or delamination when the lenses have been cared for appropriately.

Good to know: Every claim is assessed based on the symptoms and cause of the issue. If your glasses are faulty, incorrectly made or not as described, your separate statutory consumer rights still apply.

02 / YOUR OPTIONS

Simple, transparent warranty plans.

There is no need to pay extra for our standard manufacturing warranty. If you'd like more time, you can choose an extended warranty on eligible products during the ordering process.

STANDARD COVER

1-Year Warranty

Included

Manufacturing-defect cover for qualifying Royal Specs-supplied frames and lenses for 12 months from the purchase date.

  • Included at no extra cost
  • Eligible frame and lens manufacturing defects
  • Assessment and appropriate repair or replacement

The applicable warranty selection is recorded with your order. The optional extension does not provide accidental-damage or loss insurance. The above warranty is in addition to, not a substitute for, your legal rights.

03 / WHAT'S INCLUDED

What's covered — and what isn't.

Clear expectations help us resolve problems faster. The examples below relate to our commercial manufacturing warranty, not the separate legal remedies you may have for faulty goods or services.

Normally covered

  • Manufacturing defects in frames supplied by Royal Specs
  • Defective lens manufacture or workmanship
  • Qualifying lens-coating manufacturing defects
  • Other faults shown to arise from defects in supplied materials or production

Normally not covered

  • Accidental breakage, crushing, impact or misuse
  • Normal wear and tear, including everyday scratching
  • Damage from unsuitable cleaning products, heat or improper care
  • Loss, theft or unrelated damage caused by unauthorised alterations
04 / REGLAZING

What if you send us your own frames?

If you use our glasses reglazing service, the new lenses supplied and fitted by Royal Specs receive the applicable manufacturing-defect cover. Your existing frames are not automatically covered by a new-frame warranty because we did not supply them.

Older, fragile or previously repaired frames may be more vulnerable during reglazing. However, if you think our service has caused damage through a failure to use reasonable care and skill, please contact us. Your legal rights are unaffected.

06 / QUICK ANSWERS

Warranty FAQs

Everything you need to know about caring for your glasses and making a claim.

Is the 1-year warranty free with my glasses?

Yes. Our standard one-year manufacturing warranty is included on eligible Royal Specs-supplied frames and lenses. You do not have to purchase extra cover for that first year.

How much does the 2-year warranty cost?

Where offered on an eligible product, the optional two-year extended manufacturing warranty is currently £25 extra when selected at checkout. It extends the period of applicable manufacturing-defect cover; it is not accidental-damage insurance.

Are scratched lenses covered under warranty?

Ordinary scratches and damage from everyday use are not normally manufacturing defects. If you believe a defect in the lens material or coating caused the issue, contact us with photographs so we can review it.

What if a lens coating starts peeling?

Unusual peeling, cracking or delamination can sometimes indicate a manufacturing defect. We'll assess the lenses and how they have been used and cared for before confirming the appropriate resolution.

Does my warranty include frames sent in for reglazing?

New lenses supplied by Royal Specs are covered for qualifying manufacturing defects. The pre-existing frames you sent to us are not automatically included in a new-frame warranty. We remain responsible for performing our reglazing service with reasonable care and skill.

What do I need to make a claim?

Send us your order number, a short description of the problem and any useful photographs. We'll let you know if an inspection is needed and provide return instructions where appropriate.

Will I need to pay to return a faulty item?

Where a fault is our responsibility, we will cover reasonable return costs as required by law. Please contact us before sending your glasses so we can advise you on postage arrangements.

What if my glasses become faulty after the warranty expires?

Please still contact us. The end of a commercial warranty doesn't automatically end your UK statutory rights. What remedy applies depends on the nature of the fault and how long you've owned the glasses.
