Our windscreen chip repair process

 

Our repair process restores the integrity of your windshield quickly and efficiently. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of our meticulous chip repair approach:

1. Assessment — We begin by thoroughly assessing the damage to determine if the chip is suitable for repair.

2. Cleaning — We clean the damaged area to remove any debris or dirt that could affect the repair process.

3. Drilling — If necessary, a small drill opens up the chip, ensuring the resin can penetrate fully.

4. Injecting resin — High-quality resin is injected into the chip. This resin matches the optical properties of your windshield.

5. Curing — We use a UV light to cure and harden the resin, bonding it securely to the glass.

6. Polishing — The final step involves polishing the repaired area to ensure a smooth finish and clear visibility.

Dangers of DIY windscreen chip repairs

 

While DIY repair kits are widely available, fixing a chipped windshield on your own can be risky. A weak or improper windscreen chip repair can fail during critical moments, putting you and your passengers at risk. Here are some of the dangers associated with DIY repairs:

• Improper sealing — Achieving a proper seal without professional tools and expertise is challenging, leading to further cracking and compromised safety.

• Low-quality resin — DIY kits often contain lower-quality resin that may not bond well with the glass, resulting in ineffective repairs.

• Lack of expertise — Professional technicians have the training to assess the damage accurately and apply the correct repair techniques. DIY attempts can overlook underlying issues, leading to more significant problems.
