The procedure starts with cleaning the chip of any lose glass fragments. This gives a clean area that the resin can adhere to.
We remove any trapped air from the windscreen chip using the vacuum device. The damaged glass is then injected using a liquid acrylic resin.
Once the resin is injected it is sealed and cured using an ultra violet lamp, this can take a few minutes. Once dry the substance is stronger than the glass itself, this restores the strength to the damaged glass.
The excess resin is then removed and polished to a smooth complete finish.
Windscreen chip repair costs will depend on whether your vehicle insurance provides glass damage cover. If you are not covered we can still help. However you will have to pay for the repair.
