Mobile Vehicle Glass Services

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.

Windscreen Replacement

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.

  • Fitted at your home or workplace
  • Cars, vans and light commercials
  • Camera recalibration arranged where needed

Chip and Crack Repair

Smaller damage can often be filled with resin rather than replacing the whole screen, which keeps the original factory seal in place.

  • Resin injected into the chip
  • Sealant applied to finish the repair
  • Usually quicker than a full replacement

Side and Rear Glass

Door windows and rear screens are replaced too, including clearing out the broken glass left in the door or boot.

  • Side windows and quarter glass
  • Heated rear screens
  • Broken glass cleared away

Chips, Cracks and When to Repair

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.

Small Stone Chip

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.

Spreading Crack

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 in Your Line of Sight

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.

Chip Near the Edge

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.

Shattered Side Window

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.

Damaged Rear Screen

Rear screens are replaced rather than repaired. Heating elements and aerials built into the glass are reconnected as part of the fit.

Why Use Tugvan for Vehicle Glass?

Fitted Where You Are

No driving a damaged screen to a fitting centre and no waiting around in a reception. The work happens where your car is.

Compare Before You Commit

You see offers from glass specialists near you and choose, rather than accepting the first quote you are given.

Repair or Replace

If the damage can be repaired, it is repaired. A full replacement is only arranged when the glass genuinely needs it.

Windscreen FAQs

The questions drivers ask us most about chipped and cracked glass.

It depends on the size of the damage and where it is. Smaller chips away from the edges and out of the driver's view can often be filled with resin. Long cracks, damage close to the edge of the glass and damage in the driver's central view usually mean a replacement. Describe the damage when you call and we can tell you what is likely before anyone comes out.

It can. Damage larger than 10mm in the driver's central view, known as zone A, is an MOT failure, as is damage larger than 40mm anywhere else in the area swept by the wipers. Damage outside the swept area is not assessed in the same way.

The adhesive that bonds the glass to the car needs to cure before the screen can do its job in a crash, so the car should not be driven straight away. How long that takes depends on the adhesive used and the conditions on the day, and your technician will tell you when the car is safe to drive.

Many comprehensive policies include glass cover, often with its own excess that is lower for a repair than a replacement. Some policies do not include it at all. It is worth checking, but you do not need that answer before calling us.

Yes. Cars with driver assistance features such as lane keeping or automatic emergency braking usually have a camera mounted on the windscreen, and that camera normally needs recalibrating after the glass is replaced so the systems read the road correctly. Tell us the registration and we can factor it into the job.

Glass is bonded to a dry, clean frame, so heavy rain can stop work going ahead in the open. Somewhere sheltered such as a garage, a carport or a covered car park usually solves it. If there is no shelter, the technician may suggest rebooking rather than risking the bond.
