A stone chip can spread across the glass in a single cold morning. Tugvan connects you with mobile glass technicians who repair or replace your windscreen where the car is parked.
Tell us where you are and what the damage looks like, and we'll get you a price.
Most glass work is done at your home, your workplace or the roadside, so the car does not need to go to a fitting centre.
The old glass is removed, the frame is prepared and new glass is bonded in with automotive adhesive before the car is handed back to you.
Smaller damage can often be filled with resin rather than replacing the whole screen, which keeps the original factory seal in place.
Door windows and rear screens are replaced too, including clearing out the broken glass left in the door or boot.
Whether glass is repaired or replaced depends mostly on how big the damage is and where it sits on the screen. Describe it when you call and we can tell you what is likely.
A chip away from the edges and out of the driver's view can often be repaired with resin, keeping the original glass and its factory seal.
Once a chip has run into a line, repair is usually no longer an option and the screen needs replacing. Cracks tend to grow with temperature changes and vibration.
Damage larger than 10mm in the driver's central view, known as zone A, will fail an MOT. Repairs there can leave a mark, so replacement is often recommended.
Damage close to the edge of the glass sits where the screen is bonded to the car. It tends to spread and normally means a replacement rather than a repair.
Side glass breaks into small pieces rather than cracking, so it always needs replacing. The door and interior are cleared of loose glass at the same time.
Rear screens are replaced rather than repaired. Heating elements and aerials built into the glass are reconnected as part of the fit.
