Glass smashed, or a crack across the driver's view? Rules on driving with damaged glass vary by country, so check yours and call us for the earliest slot.
Call nowRepair or replace: it depends on size and place
Whether a chip can be filled depends on its size, its shape and where it sits on the glass. Guidance on what may be repaired also differs between countries, and we follow the standard that applies where you drive.
| The damage | Usually | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A chip about 2 cm across or smaller, away from the edge | Repair | Resin fills it and stops it spreading |
| A star or bullseye chip with short legs | Repair | Caught early, the legs fill along with the chip |
| Any chip right in front of the driver | Often replace | Even a good repair can leave a faint mark in the line of sight |
| A chip close to the edge of the glass | Often replace | The edges carry the most stress, and cracks run quickly from there |
| A crack longer than a few centimetres | Replace | Long cracks cannot be filled reliably |
| Side or rear glass broken | Replace | Toughened glass breaks into small pieces and cannot be repaired |
Prices for the common jobs
Prices are for a typical car. Replacement glass depends on the make, the model and what is built into the windscreen, so we confirm the exact price when you book.
Windscreen replacement
fitted, from$289
- Glass to the original specification
- Rain and light sensors refitted
- Old glass taken away for recycling
Side or rear glass

Cars with a camera or sensor behind the windscreen may need recalibration after a replacement, from $120. We tell you when you book whether yours does.
We come to the car
Chip repairs and most replacements can be done on a driveway or in a car park, as long as both front doors can open fully and the car stands on level ground.
Resin and adhesive need dry conditions, so in steady rain we need cover such as a carport or a garage, or we move the job to the workshop. We tell you on the day when the car is ready to drive.
- Same price at the workshop or at your address
- Within 30 km of the workshop at no extra charge
- Covered space needed in wet weather
- Recalibration done back at the workshop
From booking to driving away
Send the request
Tell us the car, the damage and where it will be. Within two working hours a booker accepts the slot or proposes a different one.
Glass ordered to match
The windscreen is ordered with the same tint band, heating, sensors and camera mount as the one fitted now.
Fitted and sealed
The old screen is cut out, the frame cleaned and primed, and the new glass bonded in place.
Ready to drive
We give you a drive away time for the adhesive used, which depends on the weather, and recalibrate any camera that needs it.
Cameras behind the glass
Many newer cars carry a camera or sensor behind the windscreen that reads lane markings, road signs or the car ahead. After a new windscreen, the maker may require that camera to be recalibrated so it looks exactly where it should.
Whether recalibration is required, and how it must be done and recorded, depends on the car and on the rules where you drive, which vary by country. We follow the maker's procedure and hand you a printed record of the result.
- Checked against the car's details when you book
- Static calibration on a level workshop floor
- A road calibration drive where the maker asks for one
- A printed record of the result for your files

From drivers (example reviews)
A stone hit the windscreen on the highway on Monday, and the chip was filled in the office car park on Tuesday lunchtime. It is hard to find where it was.
They checked the camera before booking and explained the recalibration step by step. The lane warning works exactly as it did before.
Someone smashed the rear side window overnight. The glass was vacuumed out of the door and the new pane fitted outside the house by ten.
Questions about auto glass
Can a chip really be repaired?
Yes, when it is small, away from the edge and outside the driver's main view. Resin is pushed into the chip under pressure, cured with ultraviolet light and polished flush. The chip becomes much harder to see, though a faint mark can remain.
Is it all right to keep driving with a chip?
For a short time, usually, but book soon. Heat, cold, car washes and potholes can turn a chip into a crack within days. A piece of clear tape over it keeps dirt and water out until the repair.
Will insurance pay for the repair?
That depends entirely on your policy and on where you live. Some policies cover glass with a small excess or deductible, others not at all, so ask your insurer before you book. We give you an itemised invoice to send them, but whether they pay is their decision.
Why do some cars need recalibration?
A camera behind the windscreen judges distances through the glass. A new windscreen can shift its view very slightly, so many makers require a check and an adjustment afterwards. We confirm whether your car needs it when you book.
How soon can the car be driven after a new windscreen?
We give you a drive away time for the adhesive used, which depends on temperature and humidity and is often an hour or more. Close the doors gently and skip the car wash for a couple of days.
Do you fit glass for vans and older cars?
Yes, for most cars and vans. Glass for rare and classic cars can take longer to find, and we confirm the time and the price once it is located.
How is payment arranged?
You pay us directly when the work is finished. If you are claiming from an insurer, you settle with us and claim from them, unless they have confirmed in writing that they will pay us.
