Windscreen Repair
Repair of chipped or scratched windscreens
Windscreen chips and scratches can be unsightly and depending on their position impair vision and possibly result in MOT failure?
Repair or Replace?
Generally size and location of damage govern whether to repair or replace. If the chip is smaller than a £1 coin and at least 5cm from the edge of the screen, it can be repaired. Different rules apply if the chip is within the driver’s line of vision, talk to a windscreen repair specialist for full details.
How do they do it?
The cracks, chips and bulls-eyes are thoroughly cleaned, a vacuum is created to suck out moisture and air before the damaged is filled with resin. UV-Light technology is used to harden the resin. The windscreen is then cleaned of excess resin and the area polished flat.
