Frequently Asked Questions

Most chips smaller than a £2 coin can be repaired if they're not directly in the driver's line of vision. However, if the chip is larger, has multiple cracks, or is in a critical viewing area, a full replacement is recommended for safety.

A typical windscreen chip repair takes approximately 30-45 minutes. A full windscreen replacement usually takes 1-2 hours, depending on the vehicle. We'll provide a more accurate timeframe when you book your appointment.

Common causes include flying stones or debris from other vehicles, extreme temperature changes, accidents, vandalism, and stress from existing damage. Even small chips can spread quickly due to temperature fluctuations or road vibrations.

It depends on the severity and location of the crack. Small chips away from the driver's view may be safe temporarily, but any crack can compromise structural integrity and visibility. We recommend getting it inspected as soon as possible to ensure your safety.
