When you spot that tell-tale star-shaped crack or “bullseye” on your windscreen, your first thought is probably: can this be fixed, or am I looking at a full replacement? The good news is that, in the vast majority of cases, small chips and cracks can be repaired quickly, safely and affordably right here in the UK—saving you time, money and the hassle of scheduling a lengthy replacement.

Speed and convenience
Many repairs can be completed on the spot. You can even stay in your car with a cup of tea and be on your way before you know it.

Environmental benefits
Repairing instead of replacing reduces the number of windscreens sent for recycling and the energy used to manufacture new glass.

Retains original factory seal
Your existing windscreen frame and seal remain intact, avoiding potential issues with water leaks, wind noise or poor fit that can sometimes occur with replacements.

When is a chip repair possible?

A chip repair isn’t magic: certain types of damage are best fixed, while others will need a full windscreen change. In general, a repair is possible when:

The chip or crack is smaller than a £2 coin (approximately 25 mm in diameter).

The damage doesn’t reach the edge of the windscreen. Cracks that extend to the edge can compromise the structural integrity of the glass.

It’s not directly in the driver’s line of sight. While some repair techniques minimise distortion, an untreated repair area in your primary viewpoint could be distracting.

If your chip meets these criteria, a skilled technician injects a clear resin into the damaged area. Once cured, this restores up to 95% of the windscreen’s original strength and dramatically improves visibility through the chip.

Signs you might need a full replacement

Large cracks (longer than 40 mm) or multiple cracks.

Damage right on the edge of the windscreen.

Obscured vision: if the crack or chip falls directly in the driver’s line of sight, regulations state that it must be replaced rather than repaired.

In these instances, it’s usually safer and more cost-effective in the long run to opt for a full windscreen replacement.
