Fast, Professional Chip Repairs That Last
Windscreen chips don’t just affect visibility—they weaken the entire structure of your glass. Left unchecked, they can lead to full windscreen failure, especially on bumpy roads or in changing weather. Our auto glaziers will assess the damage, clean the chip, and inject a high-quality resin that bonds the glass and prevents further spreading.
We handle chips caused by rocks, road debris, hail, and more, and we’re able to repair many types of damage on the spot—whether it’s a star chip, bullseye, or a small combination crack. If the chip isn’t in the driver’s direct line of sight and is smaller than a 20c coin, chances are we can repair it without replacement.
Can a chip in my windscreen really be repaired, or do I need a full replacement?
That depends on the size, depth, and location of the chip. Small chips—typically under 25mm and away from the driver’s line of sight—can often be repaired using specialised resin. If the damage is larger, deep, or close to the glass edge, replacement might be necessary. A technician can assess and recommend the safest option.
Is a repaired chip still visible after the fix?
In many cases, the chip becomes almost invisible after repair—but some faint marks or blemishes may remain depending on the damage. The goal of chip repair is to restore structural integrity and prevent spreading; cosmetic results vary based on chip size, type and how soon it’s repaired.
Can chips in side or rear windows be repaired too?
No—chip repairs are only effective on laminated windscreens. Side and rear windows are typically made from tempered glass, which shatters when damaged and cannot be repaired. If you notice a chip or crack in these windows, full replacement is usually the only option.
