Cracked or chipped windscreen? Don’t leave it to chance. A chip in your windscreen might not seem like a big deal. But left alone, it can quickly turn into a full-blown crack - and a much bigger bill. When you’re in need of a windshield repair, it’s best to act fast before things get worse.

What does car windscreen repair cover?

Windscreen repair usually involves fixing minor damage - like chips, star breaks, or small cracks - before they spread. The most common type of fix is resin injection, where a clear resin is used to fill the chip and restore the strength of the glass.

Repairs are often possible if:

• The chip is smaller than a £2 coin

• It’s not in the driver’s direct line of sight

• The damage isn’t too close to the edge of the windscreen

If the damage is more serious, you might be looking at a full replacement - but we’ll get to that.

How long does a windscreen repair take?

Not long at all. Most windscreen repairs take around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and position of the damage. The resin sets quickly, and once it’s cured and polished, you’re good to go. If all is well, there are no long waits and no fuss.

Some tradespeople even offer mobile windscreen repair - meaning they can come to you at home or work and sort it out on the spot.

Do I need to replace my windscreen?

Not always. Small chips and cracks can often be repaired without replacing the whole windscreen. But if the crack is long, deep, or in a tricky spot, it may not be safe to repair. In those cases, a full replacement is the better (and safer) option.

Still unsure? Get in touch with a tradesperson or mechanic who repairs windscreens in your area, and they can take a look and let you know your options.
