We provide a two year warranty on all purchases. If you have a problem with your product, please bring it into your closest store, or get in touch with our customer service team at hello@aceandtate.com
Every case is unique, but there are some general guidelines to assessing if a damaged product falls under our warranty policy.
We can’t replace them if the following applies to your glasses:
They were damaged deliberately or through neglect
They have been used improperly or carelessly
They have normal wear and tear
They have been damaged by cleaning without following our care guide
If your frames are less than two years old but the damage is not covered by warranty, then we can help you out with a paid frame replacement.
In one of our stores. We only adjust Ace & Tate frames, and adjustments are free of charge for all of our customers.
If you collect your glasses in-store, our team can adjust your frames when you pick them up if necessary. If you buy your frames online, then you can still swing by any of our retail locations if you need an adjustment, no appointment is necessary.
Not near any of our stores?
Most local opticians are happy to perform frame adjustments for a small fee, so head to your nearest opticians.
How do I know if I need an adjustment?
Here are some signs of poorly fitting frames:
You get dizzy when you wear them
They slip down your nose
The arms don’t fully sit on your ears
You feel pressure on the wrong points – e.g. on your temples (too tight or too loose)
The nose pads aren't dividing pressure evenly (they don’t sit straight)
These issues can often be resolved by adjusting your frames!
Yes, we offer a frame replacement service in all of our stores (this is not available online/via the post). If your frame has broken and the damage is not covered by our warranty policy, then you can purchase a new frame (of the same model), and we'll switch your existing lenses into it.
The frame replacement service costs €/£85 and is available only if your glasses are less than two years old.
Please note: this service is only available if the style is still available and the lenses fit the new frame.
Yes! Replacing old lenses with new ones is called reglazing. You may need to reglaze your glasses if they are scratched, or if you've got an updated prescription.
We can reglaze your glasses in all of our stores. If you'd like your new lenses on the same day, it's always worth calling the store in advance to check that they have your lenses in stock, it saves you going in for nothing! (Our Same Day Service costs an additional €30)
