Windscreen Chip Repairs
While it's challenging to avoid windscreen chips, they are typically repairable if addressed quickly. A professional repair not only restores the structural integrity of the windscreen and reduces the chips visibility but also provides significant cost savings compared to a full replacement.
Chip Repairs
Fracture repairs
A windscreen chip is caused by a direct impact on the glass.
If left unrepaired, regular driving and exposure to sudden temperature changes can cause a minor chip in your car's windscreen to expand into a larger crack. Unfortunately, in such cases, replacing the entire windscreen is often the only solution.
To avoid further damage and expenses, we recommend having your windscreen checked and professionally repaired as soon as possible. For convenience, we can confirm if your chip is repairable via text, from a clear, in focus, photo of the chip, taken from outside the vehicle.

Surface Pit Repairs
Windscreen pits are small chips and indentations on the surface of the windscreen created by sand, dirt, and tiny stones striking the glass while your vehicle travels at high speeds.
Unlike chips and fractures, pits do not penetrate the glass but gradually wear down the outer layer of the windscreen. Over time, these surface pits can scatter light and create glare, which may hinder visibility. While a single pit may not be alarming, a multitude of them can compromise the windscreen's structural integrity and increase glare.
Weather conditions and driving with untreated pits can exacerbate their size. To address this, we clean and fill the pits with clear resin, preventing further damage and restoring the windscreen's smooth finish. It’s crucial to address this problem swiftly. Don’t let windscreen pitting become a road safety hazard—contact us today for a repair.
