What is windscreen repair?

Windscreen repair is the process of remediating damage, restoring visibility, and restoring structural stability to a vehicle’s windscreen. Automotive glaziers most commonly provide it as an alternative to windscreen replacement. The repair process involves the use of adhesive filler compounds in the damaged area(s) which are subsequently cured and polished down to create a uniform windscreen free of defects.

The best vehicle glass repairers in the UK have the skills, expertise, and products required to perform windscreen repair services. Alongside windscreen replacement, windscreen repair is one of the most common services that glaziers provide.

Depending on the size, area, and severity of the damage to the windscreen, a repair may be a much more affordable and convenient alternative to windscreen replacement. In many cases, however, a complete replacement is necessary.

Understanding windscreen damage

Windscreens are designed to protect you and your passengers from the elements, including precipitation, errant stones and debris from the road or motorway, wind, as well as excessive noise and vibration within the vehicle. Although windscreens are quite robust and can sustain an impact without shattering lethally, they are prone to minor damage such as chips and cracks.

Cracks and chips might not prevent you from operating your vehicle, but they are essential to repair at the earliest opportunity. All cracks and chips, no matter how minor, weaken the structural stability of your vehicle in the event of a rollover and any further impacts can shatter the windscreen in its weakened state.

Moreover, all windscreen stone chips and cracks will spread over time. The rate of growth will accelerate in cold winter months and with excessive vibration. If cracks or chips grow too large, windscreen repair may no longer be feasible and the vehicle owner will most likely need to pay for a complete windscreen replacement instead.

Lastly, windscreen cracks and chips can obscure your safe vision of the road ahead and can be considered a motoring offence. Do not risk driving with a damaged windscreen and book a same-day, or next-day windscreen repair near you.

Common causes of windscreen damage

What are some of the most common causes of damage to windscreens?

• Debris: errant debris from roads and motorways is among the most common causes of stone chips. Vehicles normally begin to kick up debris past 43 mph and the debris can be flung a considerable distance towards the windscreen.
• Collisions: vehicular collisions can damage or completely shatter the windscreen.
• Vandalism: antisocial and criminal behaviour such as attempted burglary, auto theft, and vandalism can lead to cracked or shattered windscreens.
• Weather: inclement weather such as hail stones can damage windscreens. Although relatively uncommon in the UK, extremely hot summers and extremely cold winters can also stress your windscreen.
• Poor windscreen installation: poorly fitted replacement windscreens can lead to stress fractures around the edges of the windscreen and result in leaky windscreens that allow air to come through.
• Poor maintenance: windscreens with existing stone chips and/or cracks that aren’t remediated quickly are much weaker to further impacts and that damage will grow over time.

Don’t let a damaged windscreen cause you further headaches in the future and get it repaired professionally with the automotive glaziers found here on myWindscreen.

Why time is of the essence for repairing your windscreen

All cracks and stone chips in a windscreen will spread over time, depending on the severity of the damage and the conditions to which your vehicle is exposed. Stone chips larger than a £1 coin and longer than an inch can spread quickly, perhaps up to one inch per day. Stone chips smaller than a £1 coin and cracks less than an inch long can remain inert for a few weeks or months, but even these will gradually begin to spread if left unattended.

During colder winter months, cracks and stone chips can spread more quickly. Likewise, exposure to vibrations from the road will gradually facilitate their spread. These are simply unavoidable and, consequently, you should endeavour to have your windscreen repaired at the earliest possible opportunity.

Waiting too long to repair your windscreen can put you at risk because your windscreen’s structural stability is compromised and will only get worse over time. Furthermore, many repairs become impossible once the damage spreads too much, meaning that full windscreen replacement is the only solution.

Types of windscreen damage that can be repaired

Nearly all windscreens used today are made of laminated safety glass. This material consists of two pieces of tempered glass ‘sandwiched’ over a thin interlayer of polyvinyl butyrate (PVB). Damage to laminated safety glass can be repaired with resin compounds so long as the damage isn’t too severe, too deep, or in specific areas of the windscreen.

Below are some examples of windscreen damage that can be repaired:

Stone chips

The most common cause of windscreen damage is from stone chips. They are normally small, round ‘craters’ of impact damage that do not penetrate too deeply into the outer layer of safety glass. Some types of stone chips include bull’s eye chips, combination, half moons, and star breaks.

Provided that the chip does not penetrate too deeply into the windscreen and the diameter of the chip is relatively small, a skilled automotive glazier can normally repair it.

Small cracks

Cracks can be linear or form a larger ‘spiderweb’ network of cracks along the windscreen. As with stone chips, cracks that do not penetrate too deeply can normally be repaired. Cracks usually appear alongside stone chips, particularly if the stone chip has been allowed to set for an extended period of time.

Complex spiderweb cracks and cracks within around 3cm of the edges of the windscreen, or cracks that form a continuous line touching two edges of the windscreen can normally not be repaired.

Leaky windscreens

All windscreens must be fitted professionally, using standards-approved techniques and sealants to ensure that there are no leaks or defects once fitted. In the event of shoddy workmanship or through the use of poor-quality glass, leaks can appear.

Leaks generally occur when the adhesive sealant used to fit the windscreen was not applied correctly by the technician. This, in turn, leads to stress fractures around the edges of the windscreen, through which leaks can form and allow outside air to enter the vehicle.

If your windscreen has leaks and there is no other irreparable damage to the windscreen, a technician should be able to refit the windscreen properly, using the correct technique and the proper amount of sealant to ensure a snug fit.

ADAS calibration and windscreen repair

The manufacturing process of windscreens has remained relatively the same since the middle of the 20th century with Pilkington’s revolutionary float glass technique. What has changed drastically in the past decade is the adoption of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), which offer advanced features such as collision warnings, park assist, lane departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, and much more.

These systems vary in complexity and functionality, but nearly all require the use of specialised cameras and sensors embedded within the windscreen to function properly. The vast majority of all new cars on the road in Britain today are equipped with some form of ADAS, which in turn has necessitated changes to British Standards with regards to windscreen repair techniques.

British standards for windscreen repair

As of 2023, all auto glaziers must remain compliant with the BS AU 242b:2022 (a revised standard from 1998) code of practice that specifically targets ADAS-equipped windscreens.

The revised code of practice designates repair zones on windscreens as either:

• Zone A: the area extending from the top centre of the steering wheel straight up to the extend of the windscreen wiper’s arc, out 200mm on either side (400mm total width). For HGVs and coaches, the width is 250mm either side (500mm total width).
• Zone B: the remainder of the windscreen.
• ADAS camera/sensor area: any areas of the windscreen that support ADAS technology, i.e. embedded cameras or sensors.

The below figure illustrates both A and B Zones of an ADAS-equipped passenger car or light commercial vehicle using multiple cameras:

Passenger cars & light commercial vehicles with multiple cameras

Both the A and B Zones of the windscreen can be repaired, but the area highlighted in red where the cameras sit cannot be repaired.

The below figure illustrates the same configuration but for vehicles with a single ADAS camera embedded in the windscreen:

Passenger cars & light commercial vehicles with single camera

Similarly, both A and B Zones of the windscreen can be repaired but the camera zone cannot.

The below figure illustrates a similar configuration for vehicles equipped with comprehensive ADAS cameras and/or sensors occupying a larger surface area of the windscreen:

Passenger cars & light commercial vehicles with large camera zones

Note that the exclusion zone highlighted in red can vary in dimensions depending on the vehicle manufacturer and model.

The below figure illustrates the A and B Zones of a typical HGV or coach and the ADAS camera zone most commonly found on these vehicles:

HGV and coach vehicles

For HGVs and coaches, the A and B zones remain the same no matter the configuration of windscreen wipers.

Windscreen repair zones for ADAS-equipped passenger cars and light commercial vehicles

The BS AU 242b:2022 standards specify the maximum permissible size of windscreen damage that can be repaired, measured as the diameter in millimetres.

The below figure gives examples of damage to a typical passenger vehicle or light commercial vehicle that cannot be repaired as per the new standards:

Examples of passenger vehicle & light commercial vehicle windscreen damage that CANNOT be repaired

Recall that damage to the ADAS zone cannot be repaired no matter the severity.

The below figure gives examples of damage that can be repaired by an automotive glazier:

Examples of passenger vehicle & light commercial vehicle windscreen damage that CAN be repaired

Any damage that is repaired by an automotive glazier must be made invisible and pose no visual obstruction to the driver. Specifically, the standard requires that all repairs must be flush with the surface of the windscreen, no more than 10mm in size, and have no surrounding damage.

Windscreen repair zones for ADAS-equipped HGVs and coaches

Larger vehicles such as HGVs and coaches equipped with ADAS technology must likewise have their windscreens repaired in accordance with the new standard.

For these types of vehicles, some examples of damage that cannot be repaired are shown in the below figure:

Examples of HGV & coach windscreen damage that CANNOT be repaired

Recall once again that any damage to the ADAS zone cannot be repaired and complete replacement of the windscreen will be required.

Examples of damage that can be repaired on an HGV or coach are shown in the below figure:

Examples of HGV & coach windscreen damage that CAN be repaired

Note that HGVs and coaches have more permissible sizes of damage that can be repaired in the B Zone (150mm or less in diameter). Repairs are possible on longer cracks or larger stone chips so long as the damage is within the permissible diameter size and that all damage is contained within the B Zone, i.e. no damage bleeds out into the A Zone.

Summary of permissible windscreen repairs as per British Standards

In brief, windscreen repairs as per BS AU 242b:2022 are permissible for vehicles so long as the damage, measured as a circle’s diameter around the damaged area, falls within the limits shown in the below table:

Table 1: Maximum permissible damage for windscreen repairs

Any damage within the ADAS zone, such as to the cameras or embedded sensors, cannot be repaired no matter the size or severity of the damage.

Furthermore, even if the windscreen damage falls within the acceptable limits outlined above, a skilled and experienced auto glazier may choose to prioritise safety and consider your windscreen unsuitable for repairs.

This could be due to the depth of the damage (e.g. completely puncturing the windscreen), if the damage is too close or on the edge of the windscreen, or if the crack or stone chip is too contaminated to safely repair.

Vehicle glaziers typically want to repair your windscreen rather than replace, as it’s cost-effective for you and them alike, it reduces waste, and it’s generally preferred when possible. If your auto glazier tells you that repairs aren’t safe, it’s therefore reasonable to take their advice and have it replaced instead.

MOT inspections and windscreen repair

Not only is a clear windscreen free of damage and defects essential for your own safety and that of your passengers, but it’s also an integral part of the yearly MOT inspection most motorists in the UK must undergo.

MOT inspection manual for windscreens

The section of the MOT involving windscreens can be found in the MOT inspection manual, section 3. Visibility. This section contains inspection criteria pertaining to the driver’s field of vision, bonnet catches, glass condition, rear visibility, windscreen wipers and washers.

With regards to section 3.1 Field of vision, the driver must be able to sit in the driver’s seat and have an unobstructed view of the road ahead. Specifically, vehicle owners will only normally fail this section if the view is significantly affected.

Defects that may significantly affect the driver’s field of vision include for-hire taxi signage, parking and disabled permit stickers, driver’s side sun visors, or windscreen wipers that stop in such a way as to obscure the view. These may constitute a failure if they seriously affect the driver’s field of vision.

With regards to section 3.2 Condition of glass, the MOT inspection manual likewise requires that drivers have an unobstructed view without any damage that seriously affects the view of the road ahead. It also addresses side windows, tinting or discolouration to the windscreen or side windows.

How to ensure your windscreen passes the MOT inspection

How can you pass the MOT inspection, and in particular, the section on visibility of your windscreen? The MOT inspection manual gives guidance on what constitutes a pass or fail.

A damaged windscreen is permissible so long as it is less than 10mm in diameter within Zone A, the area extending vertically from the top-centre of the steering wheel to the swept area of the windscreen wipers and 145mm to either side (total 290mm width). Damage to the remaining swept area of the windscreen can be no greater than 40mm in diameter.

The below diagram displays the MOT inspection windscreen condition criteria:-

MOT Inspection windscreen condition criteria

Coincidentally, the MOT inspection criteria are not too dissimilar from the British Standards for windscreen repair. Importantly, any damage within Zone A must be less than 10mm in diameter.

Specifically, repaired windscreens are addressed in the MOT inspection manual as follows:

“Repaired windscreens must be judged solely on whether the repair interferes with vision. An ‘invisible’ or barely detectable repair, finished flush with the surrounding glass, does not count as damage.”

Furthermore, all vehicles from 1 June 1978 to today must have windscreens made of Class 5 glazing, which is essentially standards-compliant laminated safety glass.

How windscreens are repaired

The earliest windscreen repairs required enormous equipment that made it impractical for most glaziers to use, but by around the 1980s windscreen repair kits had become much smaller and more practical for everyday use by qualified glaziers.

The windscreen repair process is as follows:

Step 1: the technician assesses the damage

A skilled automotive glazier must first inspect the damage and decide whether or not it is safe to perform repairs or if complete replacement is required.

If the location, depth, size, and overall severity of the damage is deemed worthy of repair, the technician must then ensure that excessive moisture and debris hasn’t contaminated the damaged area too badly.

Step 2: cleaning & preparation

The damaged area is then cleaned out of any fragments of glass, debris, or contaminants. Depending on the type of crack or chip, the technician may carve out a small amount of surrounding glass to facilitate the flow of the resin compound.

Once the damaged area has been thoroughly cleaned, suction equipment is used to create a vacuum seal. A bridge tool is then used to inject the resin into the damaged area.

Step 3: resin is injected into the damaged area(s)

The glazier injects a windscreen repair resin directly into the damaged area, applying slightly more as necessary to ensure that the chip or crack is fully filled. Pressure is injected into the seal to ensure that air bubbles are removed and the resin fills all crevices.

Step 4: the resin is cured under UV light

With the application of a UV light, the technician accelerates the curing stage of the windscreen resin. The chemical reaction forces the resin to create a powerful mechanical bond with the glass and PVB layer between the windscreen glass.

Step 5: polishing & inspection

The technician will then use a razor to remove any excess resin and to create a uniform surface flush with your windscreen. The surface is then polished to create a seamless appearance. A final inspection is given to ensure that the repairs are completed properly.

Windscreen repair vs replacement

Motor insurance and windscreen repair

Are windscreen repairs covered by motor insurance? It depends on your insurance company and your policy. Most leading motor insurance providers in the UK provide windscreen cover under their fully comprehensive policies or as an added extra to an existing policy.

These policies vary from provider to provider, so it’s always worthwhile to go over the fine print to choose the best insurance policy for your needs. Normally, insurance providers will either fully cover the cost of windscreen repairs or charge an excess fee, perhaps £25 or more. These claims will often not go against your no-claims bonus, but again, this can vary depending on your policy.

Windscreen cover is not normally provided on standard third-party insurance policies, but check with your insurance provider if in doubt. What third-party insurance does normally cover - with regards to windscreens - is damage due to fire, theft, or an accident.

Since the overwhelming majority of windscreen claims are for stone chips and cracks not caused by these factors, any vehicle owner without windscreen cover must normally pay out of pocket. The out of pocket cost of windscreen repairs can range from around £45 to £130.

DIY windscreen repair: is it worth it?

DIY windscreen repair kits are commonly sold online, promising fantastic results for your windscreen - but are they worth it? Generally, the short answer is no, they aren’t worth it even if they cost less than letting a qualified automotive glazier do the job.

One problem with DIY windscreen repair kits is that the epoxy resin used might not offer a sufficient mechanical bond with the glass and PVB layer, thereby potentially putting you and any passengers at risk due to the weakened structural stability of the windscreen.

Even if the product is high-quality, most vehicle owners lack the bridging and suction equipment which are essential for ensuring a clean, uniform application of the resin into all crevices.

While these kits might cost as little as £15, spending an extra £30+ for professional automotive glazier services can save you time and effort whilst also ensuring that the job is done properly with industry-approved techniques and products.

Tips to keep your windscreen in pristine condition

Whether you’ve still got your original windscreen from the manufacturer or you’ve had it replaced or repaired, you most likely want to keep it in pristine condition for as long as possible.

Firstly, after any windscreen repairs you should always abide by the recommendations of your automotive glazier with respect to the safe drive-away time. Normally, windscreen repair resins are cured under a UV light and you can drive away immediately afterwards, but they may ask you to not drive anywhere for an hour or so after the resin has been applied.

Various manufacturers claim that the mechanical strength tests of their resin products achieve 90%-95% structural stability of the windscreen and some claim figures of even higher than 100% when tested in vehicle rollover tests. A repaired windscreen, provided that it’s performed by a qualified automotive glazier using high-quality products and proper techniques, will keep you and any passengers safe and secure.

To keep your windscreen in top condition, consider the following tips:

• Drive carefully: as much as you possibly can, try to avoid excessive vibrations by driving on well-maintained roads. Keep your distance behind other vehicles, particularly on the motorway near the shoulder carriageways or on urban roads where debris can be kicked behind and into your windscreen.
• Do not use hot water to defrost the windscreen: when temperatures dip below zero and your windscreen becomes frosted over, do not pour boiling hot water as this can put enormous stress on the glass and lead to cracks. Use a proper de-icing product instead.
• Maintain your windscreen wipers: windscreen wipers should be free of debris that can cause abrasion against the windscreen glass. Replace your windscreen wipers when necessary and give them a quick inspection every once in awhile.
• Clean your vehicle gently: always use automotive cleaning products (especially for windscreen glass) that are designed for vehicles and use gentle cleaning motions with a microfibre cloth to avoid leaving scuffs or scratches.

Even by following all of the above tips, the fact of the matter is that stone chips and cracks can appear anyway so it’s important to have your windscreen repaired as soon as possible.

Frequently asked questions about windscreen repair in the UK

• Can a crack in a windscreen be repaired?

  Yes, reasonably small cracks in your windscreen can be repaired. Automotive glaziers can repair cracks in windscreens so long as the crack is not too big (generally smaller than a £2 coin in diameter), it doesn’t extend directly to the edge of the windscreen, and it hasn’t completely penetrated the windscreen.

• Can I fix a crack in my windscreen myself?

  DIY windscreen crack repair is possible, but the job will seldom be to the level of quality and safety that a professional automotive glazier can achieve. DIY windscreen crack repair is only suitable for very small cracks and only if the product is high-quality and you use the correct technique to apply it to the crack.

• How do I stop my windscreen crack from spreading?

  There is no way to completely stop a windscreen crack from spreading. Windscreen cracks can spread very slowly or very quickly with exposure to extreme temperature differences, vibrations on the road, and further impacts. The best solution is to have your windscreen repaired by a reputable vehicle glazier near you.

• Can the police pull you over for a cracked windscreen?

  Yes, the police can issue a fixed penalty notice if they deem that you are operating your vehicle in a dangerous condition such as with cracks or stone chips on your windscreen. Driving with small cracks or stone chips, especially if they aren’t in your direct field of vision, may be acceptable - large cracks or chips within your field of vision are far less likely to go without notice.

• What size crack in a windscreen is illegal?

  Any crack or chip on a windscreen that obscures your vision of the road ahead can be cause for police to issue a fixed penalty notice. It is within the discretion of the authorities to determine whether or not the crack or chip is too large.

  Using MOT inspection guidance as a reference, the maximum permissible crack or chip is 10mm in a circular diameter within your direct field of vision and 40mm elsewhere on the windscreen.

• How big of a crack on a windscreen is unfixable?

  According to British Standard BS AU 242b:2022, any crack or chip larger than 20mm within your direct field of vision, larger than 40mm elsewhere on the windscreen, or anywhere on the windscreen’s ADAS camera/sensor zone is unfixable.

• Is it safe to repair a cracked windscreen?

  Windscreen repairs are safe for cracks provided that they are performed by a qualified and experienced automotive glazier using industry-approved equipment, resin compounds, and techniques. A repaired windscreen can have 90%-95% of the structural stability of a new windscreen or even higher, which is sufficient to ensure safety against impacts and in the event of a rollover.

• Will a windscreen shatter if cracked?

  If a windscreen is cracked, the likelihood of shattering is drastically increased if it sustains any further impacts. Windscreen cracks decrease the structural stability of the vehicle and render it far more susceptible to shattering, which is why it is essential to have your windscreen repaired or replaced at the earliest opportunity.

• Do tiny chips in the windscreen need repairing?

  All windscreen chips, even tiny ones, will require repairs at some point since they will spread over time and with exposure to vibration and temperature changes. Tiny cracks many not be much to worry about right away and may remain benign for weeks or months before spreading further out, but they will spread.

• How much does it cost to repair a windscreen in the UK?

  Windscreen repairs for motorists without windscreen cover on their insurance policy generally cost between £40 and £130. For motorists with windscreen cover, the cost may be completely waived by an insurance claim or there may be an excess fee of around £25, depending on your insurance policy and provider.

• When can a windscreen not be repaired?

  Windscreens cannot be repaired if the damage is too severe, if there are cracks extending to one or more edges of the windscreen, if the damaged area is severely contaminated or punctures through the glass completely, or if the damage is within the camera/sensor zone of the windscreen’s ADAS. Cracks and chips greater than 20mm in diameter within the driver’s field of vision or 40mm elsewhere on the windscreen cannot be repaired.

• Does claiming for windscreen repair affect insurance?

  Windscreen repairs may or may not affect your insurance premiums, although most insurance providers in the UK will not raise your premiums nor count it against your no-claims bonus. If your insurance premiums go up after windscreen repair, it may be due to other reasons that led to the damage.

• Is windscreen repair worth it?

  Windscreen repair is almost always worth it as an alternative to windscreen repair since it is much cheaper, faster, and more environmentally friendly than windscreen replacement whilst being safe. If your automotive glazier deems your windscreen unfit for repairs then it is generally wise to heed their advice and have it replaced.

• Will a repaired windscreen pass MOT?

  A repaired windscreen should pass the MOT inspection provided that the repaired crack/chip is no greater than 10mm within the driver’s field of vision, is completely flush with the glass, and poses no visual obstruction of the road ahead. If in doubt, contact an automotive glazier near you to see if your windscreen is likely to pass the MOT inspection.

• How long does a windscreen repair take?

  Windscreen repairs generally take around 20-30 minutes to complete. The job may take longer depending on the complexity of the damage, how many cracks/chips there are, and the skill of the automotive glazier. Generally, most windscreen repair resin compounds are cured with a UV light and it is safe to drive away immediately afterwards.
