STONECHIP AND SCRATCH SURGERY

WINDSCREEN REPAIR AT A FRACTION OF THE COST OF REPLACEMENT

STONE-CHIPS
Windscreen chips can devalue your vehicle. They can also impair your vision; fail an M.O.T. test and worse still, develop into irreparable damage. A simple stone-chip can create an impact crater which will allow water-ingress between the glass and vinyl interlayer. Exposed to the elements, the stone-chip will eventually worsen beyond economic repair; this is either a result of damage to the vinyl interlayer (milky colour caused by water ingress) or ultimately, a crack to the windscreen (which can be propagated by extreme weather conditions, or normal torsions in the vehicle chassis.

Windscreen chip repair works by injecting a clear, acrylic resin into the damage under pressure, then polishing the resin flush with the screen after a curing process. This will leave the area fully sealed thus prolonging the life of your windscreen. A successful repair can also satisfy and meet M.O.T. pass criteria. If you get a chip in your screen, don't delay in calling us, unless fixed right away, they can worsen very quickly in extreme weather conditions. Call GLASSTEC Automotive today to find out how your stone-chip can be repaired FREE of charge*.

For optimum results, the chip needs to be clean and water-free at the time of repair. As soon as you notice the damage – and if possible - cover the chip with a square of sticky-tape giving us the best chance to execute a perfect repair.

SCRATCHES AND SCUFFS
Failing to renew your wiper blades is not only illegal, but can also cause unsightly damage to the surface of your windscreen.Scratches and scuffs are also caused accidentally, carelessly (such as cleaning or from hand jewellery) or by vandalism.

Historically, scratched glass most often resulted in costly replacement. GLASSTEC Automotive can polish most scratches and scuffs - economically and safely - from your glass using specialist equipment. Scratch removal results are in direct proportion to the level, or ‘depth’ of damage. The GLASSTEC Automotive scratch removal system does not create distortion in the glass. Please note, scratch and scuff removals are assessed for economic and safety reasons. More severe scratches and scuffs may result in a recommendation for replacement.
