If your vehicle needs a windscreen repair then you should get it seen to sooner rather than later. If a minor windscreen repair is left untreated then it may result in you needing a full windscreen replacement which will be much more costly. If you have an accident and your windscreen gets damaged and you need a windscreen repair then you may be able to get this done on your insurance policy free of charge. If the accident wasn’t your fault then you should be able to claim through the other drivers insurance so you don’t lose your no claims bonus. Many insurers will now provide a windscreen repair or windscreen replacement without it affecting your no claims bonus and they will arrange a company for you to carry out the repair.

There are now many companies who carry out mobile windscreen repair and full windscreen replacement services making is easy and convenient for people to have repairs done at their home or workplace. Companies that carry out mobile windscreen repair and windscreen replacement services should also be able to replace and repair side windows and heated rear windows if necessary. If you notice that ...
... you have a chip or crack on your windscreen then you will probably just need a windscreen repair rather than a full windscreen replacement. Small chips and cracks can easily occur though stones hitting your window or driving over bad bumps in road and these small chips can soon turn into big cracks if you don’t have a windscreen repair as soon as possible.

Many people don’t realise that a chip or crack in their windscreen can result in an MOT failure so if your car is due an MOT and you know you need a windscreen repair have it done before your MOT to ensure your car doesn’t fail because of this. To carry out a windscreen repair to fix a chip or crack high pressure resin is injected into the damaged area to seal the crack. This is extremely hard once it is set and is virtually invisible once the repair has been carried out.
