Size and shape
Bullseye, star and combination damage behave differently and must be assessed individually.
Chip size matters, but position, depth, contamination and distance from the edge are also important when assessing damage.
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.
Every vehicle and piece of glass is different. These are the main points we check when planning the job.
Bullseye, star and combination damage behave differently and must be assessed individually.
Damage near an edge, sensor area or the driver’s view can affect the safe option.
Inner-layer damage, contamination or an extending crack can rule out a repair.
A successful repair is intended to restore strength and reduce visibility, but a mark may remain.
No. Position, depth, contamination and the overall condition of the windscreen also matter.
We’ll confirm coverage and the next practical step.
