What moves the price
- Size of the chip — small chips can usually be repaired, while larger damage needs a new windscreen
- Position — damage in the driver's direct line of sight is often refused for windscreen repair
- Number of chips — a second chip on the same visit usually costs less than the first
- Mobile or in a centre — a technician coming to you may charge a little more than a drop-in repair
- Insurance — many comprehensive policies repair chips with little or no excess
- Type of damage — a short crack costs more to stabilise than a simple bullseye chip
Vehicle maintenance prices in the UK are up 38% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Maintenance and repairs, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical windscreen repair would have cost about £45 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7ED →

How to pay less
- Repair a windscreen chip straight away, before frost or a bump turns it into a crack
- Check your insurance, as many policies cover chip repairs with little or no excess
- Have every chip repaired on the same visit, as extra chips usually cost less
Before you book
- Cover the chip with clear tape until the repair, to keep dirt and water out
- Check whether the chip sits in the area in front of the driver, which may rule out repair
- Ask whether the windscreen repair is guaranteed, and what happens if the chip spreads
- Avoid blasting hot or cold air at a chipped windscreen, which can make it crack
Windscreen Repair cost: questions people ask
£40–£90 per chip, about £50 typical. One small chip outside the driver's view costs the least; a mobile visit for several chips or a short crack costs the most.
About thirty minutes per chip, and you can usually drive away straight after.
It can. Damage larger than 10mm in the zone in front of the driver, or larger than 40mm elsewhere in the wiper area, is an MOT fail.
Not completely. A good repair stops the damage spreading and makes it much less noticeable, but a faint mark often remains.
A full windscreen replacement, side windows and recalibrating cameras are separate jobs.
