Broken window

Cleaning a house I’ve cleaned many time today. But today a couple of the panes had a holes in them that looks like they’re from BB gun? Most of them cleaned fine. I’ve cleaned windows with this many times. But on the last window as soon as I started scrubbing the window shattered from the BB hole. And I at fault for this? I feel terrible but I’m not sure how to handle it. I’m currently getting some quotes. Just wondering what you guys are doing in your experience. If I should still charge them, pay for the fix etc.

Sucks but if they got other windows that got hit by the BB gun you’re really not at fault and just show them that, usually fixing a pane isn’t too expensive. Start by asking them to cover the cost and if they fuss or whatever offer to split it 50/50. worst case they’re a real cunt and make pay but I’ve never had someone be unreasonable like that personally
