Windscreen Chip Repair – Good for your Pocket and the Environment
It should come as no surprise that a chipped windscreen / windshield can mean much more than a simple eyesore. Though issues with your windscreen / windshield might appear to be less serious than a mechanical or engine fault in your car, don’t be fooled, windscreen / windshield chip damage can be extremely hazardous for yourself, your passengers and fellow road users.
Take a moment to consider all that your windscreen / windshield has to do in the event of an accident. If the worst should happen, your windscreen / windshield has an important part to play in proper airbag inflation, not to mention the key part your windscreen / windshield plays in preventing a roof-crush in a rollover accident. But these are worst-case scenarios, of course. That said, more routine windscreen / windshield chip repair is massively important to maintaining a roadworthy vehicle and keeping you and your passengers safe.
Noticed a chip in your windscreen / windshield? No need to panic – this needn’t spell a costly windscreen / windshield replacement. In fact, you might be surprised to learn just how many benefits there are if you opt for a windscreen / windshield chip repair rather than a total replacement.
Cheaper
It is not uncommon for drivers to simply ignore chips in their windscreen / windshield out of concern regarding the cost of a full windscreen / windshield replacement. A chip in your windscreen / windshield may feel like a minor issue now, but rest assured, you can be certain that overtime the damage will spread. The sooner you act and commit to a windscreen / windshield chip repair, the less likely it is that you will have to go ahead and replace the whole thing. A full replacement is significantly more costly than the windscreen / windshield repair service provided at Centre Glass. In fact, a windscreen / windshield chip repair might not cost you anything. If you have fully comprehensive vehicle insurance, or vehicle insurance including cover for glass damage, we can usually repair your windscreen / windshield for free. What’s more, it won’t affect any no claims bonus that you may have.
Remember the rule of thumb is as follows:
A windscreen / windshield chip less than 3mm (smaller than a matchstick head) does not usually need to be repaired.
A windscreen / windshield chip less than 25mm (smaller than a £2 coin) is repairable.
A windscreen / windshield chip over 25mm is usually non-repairable.
