Yes, most chips and cracks can be repaired. However, four key factors determine whether a repair is possible: the type, size, location, and depth of the damage.

Size is crucial. Smaller cracks, less than 75mm, can usually be repaired. Previously, cracks longer than 125mm were considered irreparable. However, with advancements in technology, some repair shops now have the tools and skills to repair much longer cracks.

Depth is another significant factor. Shallow cracks and chips are easier to repair than deeper ones. The deeper the damage, the more challenging it becomes to restore the windscreen.

Multiple cracks or chips in a windscreen are more difficult to repair compared to just one. However, repairs may still be possible depending on the severity and location of the damage.

Bull's Eye: A circular-shaped crack caused by a rock or other round object. It is usually larger than a standard chip. Ding: A common, smaller chip. Floater Crack: A crack that starts at least 50mm away from the edge of the windscreen. Pit: A small chip where a piece of glass is missing.

The location is critical. Even expert repairs can leave behind some distortion or discoloration in the windscreen. If the damaged area is in the driver’s direct line of sight, a replacement may be necessary to ensure safety and clear visibility.

Yes, we guarantee that the chip will not spread or run once repaired.

Yes, our repairs are fully guaranteed to pass a Roadworthy inspection, or your money back.

All our repairs are guaranteed for the life of the windscreen.

Yes, provided the crack is not in the driver’s line of vision. Cracks between 5-10 cm can be stopped from spreading.

Repairs are relatively quick, depending on the number of chips, but on average around 15 minutes.

The chip may not fully disappear but will show at least 85% visual improvement, varying by type, size, and age of the damage.

Yes, but fresher damage typically yields better cosmetic results. Over time, dust and contaminants accumulate in the chip.

No, while the chip may be more visible, the strength of the repair remains effective.

No, it’s best not to wash the windscreen before the repair as water can take hours to evaporate.

Keep the chip dry and avoid driving over bumps or potholes before the repair. After the repair, normal driving is fine.

Yes, you can drive immediately after the repair.

Chip repairs are performed only on the windscreen, provided the damage is limited to the outer layer of the glass.

Bulls-eye: Round or half-moon shape, not larger than 10 mm. Star: Cracks visible but not longer than 25 mm. Combination: A mix of star and bulls-eye. A small crack is a star or combination chip with a single leg longer than 25 mm but not exceeding 40 mm.

Yes, repairs are suitable for all vehicles with laminated front windscreens, provided the damage is limited to the outer layer.

Repairs can be done if the film is on the inside of the windscreen; repairs cannot be done if the film is on the outside..

Yes, multiple chips can be repaired as long as they fall within the specifications for each zone.

Having windshield chip repair done by non-professionals risks poor-quality repairs, compromised structural integrity, reduced visibility, potential water leaks, and higher long-term costs. It can also void insurance coverage, leading to greater expenses.

While it's difficult to predict exactly, chips near the edge of the windshield, those with sharp edges, or chips that are exposed to extreme temperatures or rough road conditions are more likely to spread into cracks. Regularly inspecting and promptly repairing chips can help prevent them from becoming runners.

Yes, chips near the edge of the windscreen are more dangerous because they can compromise the structural integrity of the glass and are more likely to spread into cracks. Chips in the driver's line of sight can also be problematic, as even a well-repaired chip might leave slight distortions, affecting visibility. Additionally, large or deep chips, especially those with multiple cracks radiating from them, may not be repairable and could require a full windscreen replacement.

A vacuum is created above the damage to remove air, dirt, and moisture. A specialized resin is then injected and cured with UV light.

The price to repair a chip is R350. Extra chips at R150 per chip.
