Why repair instead of replace?

A £78 repair today can prevent a £299–£1,200 replacement tomorrow. Even small chips spread rapidly with temperature changes and road vibration.

If a repair will hold, we'll always recommend it over a replacement. It's faster, cheaper, and keeps the original factory-bonded windscreen in place.

Faster

Most repairs complete in 15-20 minutes on site.

Cheaper

£78 inc VAT vs £299–£1,200 for a replacement.

Keeps the original

Original factory-bonded windscreen stays in place — no ADAS recalibration needed.

Honest about what can go wrong

Roughly 1 in 10 repairs end in the chip spreading into a crack during or after the work, in which case a full replacement is needed. We assess every photo carefully to minimise that risk — but glass is glass, and we'd rather tell you upfront than surprise you on the day.

Multiple angles? Send via WhatsApp

Our form takes one photo. If you'd like to send several, message us on WhatsApp at 0330 808 9357 and we'll assess from there.

Repair-vs-replacement criteria

The questions we get asked most often when customers send a chip photo through.

A repair is possible when ALL of the following apply:

Chip is smaller than a £1 coin (25mm).

Crack is shorter than 7.5cm.

Damage is over 5cm from the windscreen edge.

In the driver's direct view, the damage is under 10mm (smaller than a 1p coin).

Only the outer layer of glass is damaged.

A replacement is needed if any of the following apply:

Chip larger than a £1 coin.

Crack longer than 7.5cm.

Damage within 5cm of the edge.

In the driver's direct view, damage exceeds 10mm (an automatic MOT failure).

Damage has penetrated both glass layers.

Multiple cracks forming a 'spider web' pattern.

Damage affects the rain sensor or ADAS camera area.

Honestly — yes, occasionally. Roughly 1 in 10 repairs end in the chip spreading into a crack during or after the repair, in which case a full replacement is needed.

We assess every photo carefully to minimise that risk, but glass is glass and chips are unpredictable. If a repair on your vehicle does spread, we'll discuss the replacement quote with you straight away.

A £78 repair today can prevent a £299–£1,200 replacement tomorrow. Even small chips can spread rapidly due to temperature changes or road vibrations. If it's repairable, we'll always recommend the repair over a replacement.

A windscreen chip or crack repair usually takes 15-20 minutes once the technician is on site.

Damage over 10mm in the driver's direct view results in an automatic MOT failure, even if the windscreen otherwise appears fine.
