Windscreen Damage
Jump to...
The structural integrity of your car may be compromised when your windscreen is damaged.
Chip or a Crack?
A chip in your windscreen does not cause as much structural damage as a crack and can typically be repaired where as a crack will require the windscreen to be replaced.
If you have any questions or concerns about your windscreen feel free to give me a call for a quick chat.
Chip Repairs
A chip is generally described as being smaller than a $1 coin in its entirity, this includes the chip and any cracks that lead away from it.
A chip in a windscreen can generally be repaired cheaply and quickly and the chip will be almost (but not completely) invisible. The purpose of a chip repair is to restore the structural integrity of the windscreen, not the visual clarity.
A Chip repair can take anywhere from 10-30 minutes and your car will be driveable immediately after the repair has been completed. The process for repairing a chip is is straight forward.
- Assess the damage*
- Clean and prepare the chip
- Inject resin into the damaged area
- Apply pressure
- Cure under UV light
- Clean Windscreen
*Please be aware that if upon inspection of your windscreen it is determineed that the damage is not repairable under Australian Standards we will not proceed with the chip repair and recommend a windscreen replacement instead. We can provide a quote for a replacement windscreen at the time of inspection.

It is important to replace your windscreen if it is cracked or has scratches and imperfections that might affect the drivers vision. This may include wiper scratches or defects that produce a haze or refract light.
