Hello,
Is a kit available for repair of glass block? I need to replace one 8 by 8 inch nominal block. I checked with Home Depot and they only sell supplies for bigger jobs. It will be tough enough to find an exact match without a special order and besides I may have to order more then one block. So I may have to settle for a close match. I just don't want to buy the store for one block including grout, spacers etc.

If the block is cracked or broken there is not way to repair it without it being noticeable. You should go to supplier of masonry material and they might have a match or can order it for you.

I was able to find the exact match and purchased a couple of them because it has been discontinued. But I had to purchase a 50 lb. bag of grout. The alternatives that I did consider almost equaled the price of the grout which was $11.94.
I'll just save a couple of pounds for later repairs and give the rest away. Thanks.
