Windscreen Chip Repair
Chipped windscreens are one of the most common forms of auto glass damage. While they may appear minor at first, they can lead to larger cracks and even complete windscreen failure if left untreated. At Evolution Windscreens & Repairs, we specialise in fast, professional, and cost-effective windscreen chip repair services across Sydney.
Why Address Chips Early?
Many drivers ignore small chips, believing they’re harmless. However, factors such as heat, cold, vibration, and moisture can cause the chip to spread, compromising the entire glass structure. Addressing chips early can:
- Prevent the need for a full windscreen replacement
- Save you time and money
- Maintain your vehicle’s structural integrity
- Ensure clear visibility and safe driving conditions
What Types of Chips Can Be Repaired?
Not all chips are the same. The following types are generally repairable:
- Bullseye chips (round damage with a dark center)
- Star chips (small cracks radiating from a central point)
- Half-moon chips (semi-circular damage)
- Combo chips (a mix of star and bullseye)
As a rule of thumb, if the chip is smaller than a 10-cent coin and not located directly in the driver’s line of sight, it can typically be repaired.
Our Windscreen Chip Repair Process
-
1. Initial Inspection
Our technician assesses the chip to determine if it is suitable for repair or if a replacement is recommended.
-
2. Cleaning the Area
We remove dirt, moisture, and loose glass particles from the damaged area to ensure proper bonding.
-
3. Resin Injection
A clear, specially formulated resin is injected into the chip. This fills in the damage and restores the strength of the glass.
-
4. Curing and Hardening
The resin is cured with ultraviolet (UV) light to solidify the repair.
-
5. Polishing the Surface
The surface is polished smooth, enhancing both strength and visibility.
The entire process typically takes 20–30 minutes and leaves the repaired area nearly invisible to the eye.
