Windscreen chip repair

Featured Replies

I'm hoping to repair it myself, it's only a small chip, I repaired one in the past and it was nice and hot, main question will it cure without UV light? or will it still dry with heat from a hairdryer, thanks

Ignore the question, I spoke to a mechanic and he said I need to UV Light to cure the resin and I can borrow one this weekend.

Does your insurance not include free chip repairs or cover the cost?

Will need to double check my insurance, I thought it easiest if I did it, the chip is tiny, just annoying as it's on the drivers side.

Just checked insurance, I have £25 access.

My insurance usually rips the customer off at any opportunity, but stone chips are repaired 100% free of charge, unusual that LOL

I've successfully fixed chips without a UV Light, It may have taken longer to cure though.

Stone chip repaired nice and smooth on the outside, still shows a little, but not as bad and will stop water getting behind the laminate, yes the access on my car insurance £25 for repair and £95 for new windscreen.
