Car window seen better days? Here’s what to know about getting it replaced. 

From stone chips to smashed glass, there are plenty of reasons you might need a car window replacement.

Whether it’s your windscreen, side window or rear glass that’s been damaged, a replacement isn’t just a cosmetic fix - it’s about safety, visibility, and keeping your car protected from the elements.

What does a car window replacement involve?

Car window replacement means completely swapping out the damaged or broken glass for a brand new pane, sealed and fitted to match your vehicle.

This could include:

The exact job will depend on the damage, but a car window replacement will usually involve:

Most replacements are quick and clean - and once it’s done, your car’s secure, road-ready, and looking good as new.

How long does a car window replacement take?

Most car window replacements take up to two hours, though it can vary depending on the window and your vehicle type. Windscreens with sensors or heaters might need a bit more time, and you may need to wait longer for the sealant to cure before you can drive off.

Some fitters even offer mobile services, so they can come to you at home or work - making it easy to get sorted without disrupting your day.

Can I fix my car window instead of replacing it?

Sometimes. Small chips or minor scratches - especially on windscreens - can often be repaired if they’re caught early. But if the damage is deep, spreading, or in the driver’s line of sight, replacement is usually the safer bet.

A good car window specialist will always tell you if a repair is possible first - so you’re not paying for more than you need.
