About Windscreen Repair

Do you know?

• A small chip in your windscreen can quickly spread if left un-repaired.
• A windscreen accounts for up to 30% of the vehicle’s structural strength.
• A chipped or cracked windscreen may cause your vehicle to fail its MoT.
• A windscreen repair can save you and your insurance company money.

A small chip in your windscreen can quickly spread causing even more costly damage if left un-repaired. Many motorists wrongly assume that fixing a crack or chip in their windscreen means replacing the entire piece of glass. In reality most chips and cracks can be repaired. Generally insurers cover the entire cost of windscreen repairs and will not view it as a claim against their policy. So getting a chip checked and repaired can save them money.

It is vitally important for all motorists to maintain a defect free windscreen. Your windscreen plays a vital role in safety, accounting for up to 30% of your vehicle’s structural strength. Damage lowers the strength of the windscreen and can reduce the effectiveness of passenger airbags which rely on the support of the windscreen to deploy correctly. A windscreen defect may also result in your vehicle failing its MoT test.

Repairing a chip in a windscreen will restore the strength of the damaged area. In fact the repair will be stronger than the undamaged glass. Repairs are permanent and you can even wash or drive your vehicle immediately after the repair.

Kwik Fit can repair a chip in almost any part of the windscreen. Heated and tinted screens are also covered by this service. It doesn’t take very long to repair a chip; an average repair takes 20-30 minutes to complete.
