It is essential to repair windscreens when they chip or crack instead of waiting for them to be totally damaged. When repairing a windscreen, the price will depend on two factors:

1. Whether the windscreen is to be repaired or replaced.
2. If the car has insurance that covers the windscreen damages.

The Chipped or Cracked Windscreen Repair Cost

The price depends on the size and depth of the damage. If the chips are large, the windscreen needs to be replaced.

The Windscreen Replacement Cost

The price of replacing a windscreen is determined by different factors, such as the make, model, year and technology of your vehicle. Luxury cars require more than just a pane of glass. They have different features on their windscreen. Some have cameras, sensors, speed zone recognition, lane departure, auto braking and lasers on the windscreen. It makes their windscreen replacement much more expensive.

Windscreen repair is cheaper than replacement as it is a small part of the glass that is damaged.

Insurance

If your car is insured, your insurance company covers the cost to replace or repair your windscreen. You also cover for the excess, and it won’t affect your claim bonus.

If your vehicle is not insured or the insurance doesn’t cover the glass, you will cover the cost.
