A damaged windscreen is more than just an inconvenience – it’s a serious safety risk. Whether it’s a small chip or a large crack, acting quickly can help you stay safe on the road and avoid costly future repairs. In this guide, we’ll break down everything you need to know about windscreen replacement and windscreen repair services, so you can make informed decisions and drive with confidence.
Why Windscreen Damage Shouldn’t Be Ignored
Your car’s windscreen does more than just shield you from wind and rain. It’s a structural component of your vehicle and contributes to the overall strength of the body, especially in the event of a collision or rollover.
Here’s why prompt action is crucial:
- Safety hazard: Cracks can obstruct your vision, especially when driving in bright light or at night.
- MOT failure: Even a small chip in the driver’s line of vision can cause your car to fail its MOT test.
- Worsening damage: A chip can quickly grow into a crack due to temperature changes, bumps in the road or moisture.
Windscreen Repair Services – Quick and Cost-Effective
In many cases, minor damage can be resolved with professional windscreen repair services. This is usually possible when:
- The chip is smaller than a £2 coin.
- The damage is not directly in the driver’s line of sight.
- The crack hasn’t spread across the windscreen.
Benefits of Windscreen Repairs:
- Faster than replacements – often completed in under 30 minutes.
- Cost-effective – generally cheaper than full replacements.
- Eco-friendly – repairing instead of replacing reduces waste.
- Preserves original glass – maintains the factory seal and fit.
At Automotive Glass Repairs, we use industry-leading resins and repair technology to ensure a durable, near-invisible fix that restores the strength and clarity of your windscreen.
When Windscreen Replacement is Necessary
There are situations where a repair simply isn’t enough. A full windscreen replacement is required when:
- The crack is long (typically over 40mm).
- The damage is directly in the driver’s line of vision.
- The chip is near the edge of the screen, affecting structural integrity.
- The windscreen has been previously repaired multiple times.
A replacement may sound daunting, but with the right professionals, it’s a straightforward and efficient process. We source high-quality OEM-standard glass and fit it with precision, ensuring a secure bond and a perfect finish.
