Can My Stone Chip be Fixed?


When it comes to windscreen stone chips, we have to treat each screen as an individual case. Every chip has to be assessed to allow the best price and option available to you. There are many factors to take into consideration such as; the size of the chip, area of the chip, type of chip, how long the damage has been there, contamination in the chip. We will always do what is best for the customer but we have a safety obligation to meet, In most cases, we will attempt the repair, and 90% of the time if we decide to attempt the repair it turns out successfully. To better understand what you will need, we recommend that you bring your vehicle to us if it’s safe or call us over the phone with a detailed explanation of the chip and its location.


How Long Does a Windscreen Replacement Take?


We say on average a windscreen replacement doesn't take much longer than 1 hour to replace, then further time for the glue to set before the vehicle can be driven. The complexity of the replacement can vary on each vehicle, and some replacements can take as long as a day to complete the work. We can discuss the specific details of your car's needs with Tough car glass at the time of the booking.


How Long Does a Windscreen Stone Chip Repair Take?


Repairing a stone chip has different stages, each stage has a set time to complete and a repair normally takes no more than 30 minutes. However, every repair is different and the technician may decide to recycle/start again. This decision is made by the technician when they have assessed the repair throughout the process, and whether the damage has been fully filled and successful. Our aim at Tough Car Glass is to provide you with a service so that your vehicle leaves our facility in 100% safe condition. We make sure all our glass meets the highest quality standards set by ECE regulations 43, including windscreens, other windows or partitions in motor vehicles and trailers.
