Windscreen Chip Repair
Service the same-day from just £40 plus VAT
If your car, van, or lorry has a chipped or cracked windscreen, it’s essential to address it promptly. Even minor damage, such as a chip no larger than a £1 coin or a small crack up to 20mm, can worsen over time, posing a serious safety risk. Left unchecked, these issues not only impact your visibility but can also weaken the structural integrity of your vehicle, increasing the likelihood of a complete windscreen replacement down the line.
We offer fast, affordable windscreen chip repairs in Colchester, Clacton, Chelmsford, and nearby areas. Our same-day repair service starts from just £48 plus VAT, ensuring your vehicle is back on the road safely and quickly without breaking the bank.
Affordable and Fast Windscreen Chip Repairs
Our technicians are trained to handle a range of windscreen damage, from chips caused by flying debris to minor cracks resulting from temperature fluctuations. We use advanced tools and techniques, including diamond or tungsten carbide-tipped drills, to prepare the damaged area with precision.
Once the chip is prepped, we inject a specialised resin that hardens under ultraviolet light. This resin not only restores the strength of the glass but also eliminates visible blemishes, leaving your windscreen clear and as smooth as the original glass.
Our commitment to quality and safety ensures that we use only the best materials, delivering results that last. Most repairs are completed the same day, minimising your vehicle’s downtime and allowing you to get back on the road with confidence. Whether you drive a car, van, or lorry, we’ve got you covered.
