Automotive glass repair and replacement

Your vehicle’s glass plays an important role in safety and visibility. Whether it’s a chipped windscreen, broken side window, or damaged mirror glass, we can supply and install replacement automotive glass for most makes and models.

If you’ve noticed a chip or crack in your windscreen, it’s best to have it checked early. Small damage can often be repaired before it spreads and requires a full replacement.

Automotive glass FAQs

Do you do insurance jobs?

Yes. We work with most insurance providers.

To proceed with an insurance job, we simply require your insurance provider’s details and a valid claim number.

Do you offer a mobile service?

Yes. We can carry out windscreen repairs and replacements at your home or workplace for your convenience.

For wet and raining conditions we require a dry, covered space to safely carry out the work, such as a garage, carport, or sheltered area.

Mobile service is available by request and additional travel or call-out fees may apply depending on location.

Can a windscreen chip be repaired?

In many cases, yes.

Small chips can often be repaired using a specialist resin that restores strength and visibility, helping prevent the damage from spreading.

However, not all chips can be repaired. Factors such as size, location, and the number of existing repairs will determine whether a repair is possible or if a replacement is required.

How long does a windscreen replacement take?

Most windscreen replacements take around 1–2 hours.

After installation, the adhesive requires a short curing period before the vehicle can be safely driven. Our technicians will advise you on the safe drive-away time.

What is windscreen calibration?

Many modern vehicles have cameras and driver-assist systems mounted behind the windscreen.

When a windscreen is replaced, these systems may need to be recalibrated to ensure the cameras and sensors are correctly aligned.

Calibration helps maintain the accuracy of features such as:

  • Lane assist

  • Collision warning systems

  • Adaptive cruise control

Our team arrange the calibration where required during windscreen replacement.

Do you only replace windscreens?

No. We replace a wide range of automotive glass panels, including:

  • Front windscreens

  • Rear windscreens

  • Side door glass

  • Rear quarter lights

  • Wing mirror glass

  • Some sunroofs

If it’s automotive glass, we can usually help.
