If your windscreen is damaged, knowing the likely cost helps you plan. At Advanced Autoglazing, we handle windscreen repair, windscreen chip repair, windscreen replacement, windscreen camera calibration, and window chip repair. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect.
Windscreen Chip Repair
Cost
Windscreen chip repair usually costs between £40 and £100. The price depends on how many chips there are and how large they are. Most repairs are quick and often completed in under an hour.
Insurance
If you have glass cover in your car insurance, chip repair might be free. Without insurance, you’ll pay the full amount.
Windscreen Replacement
What It Costs
Windscreen replacement is more expensive than a chip repair. The cost can range from £180 to over £1,000. On average:
- Budget cars: £200 to £350
- Mid-range: £350 to £500
- High-end cars: £500 to £1,000+
The final price depends on your car’s make, model, and whether it has features like heating or rain sensors.
Windscreen Camera Calibration
Why It Matters
If your car has driver assistance features, the cameras need calibration after a windscreen replacement. Skipping this step can make those systems unreliable.
Price
Calibration costs usually fall between £150 and £250, depending on the technology in your vehicle.
Window Chip Repair
Window chip repairs are often priced the same as front windscreen chips. Quick repair keeps the damage from spreading and avoids a full window replacement.
Conclusion
Windscreen and window repairs vary in cost based on the damage and your vehicle. Chip repairs are affordable and quick. Replacements and calibration cost more, especially with advanced features. If you’re unsure what you need, Advanced Autoglazing can advise and give a quote.
