Repair suitability explained

Can your windscreen chip be repaired?

Chip size matters, but position, depth, contamination and distance from the edge are also important when assessing damage.

Practical guidance

A photograph is the best first step.

Small impact damage may sometimes be repairable, but a photograph cannot replace an in-person assessment. Damage in the driver’s critical viewing area, close to the windscreen edge, through multiple layers or already developing into a crack may require replacement.

Arrange assessment promptly. Dirt and moisture can enter the impact point, while temperature changes and vehicle movement may cause damage to spread. Avoid pressing the chip or applying unsuitable DIY substances.

  • ✓ Take a clear close-up photograph
  • ✓ Take a wider photo showing position
  • ✓ Avoid sudden temperature changes
  • ✓ Request assessment before it spreads
What to consider

Clear answers before work begins.

Every vehicle and piece of glass is different. These are the main points we check when planning the job.

Size and shape

Bullseye, star and combination damage behave differently and must be assessed individually.

Position

Damage near an edge, sensor area or the driver’s view can affect the safe option.

Depth and condition

Inner-layer damage, contamination or an extending crack can rule out a repair.

Frequently asked questions

Useful things to know.

Does a repaired chip disappear completely?

A successful repair is intended to restore strength and reduce visibility, but a mark may remain.

Can every small chip be repaired?

No. Position, depth, contamination and the overall condition of the windscreen also matter.
