Car glass repair

Car glass repair: a coin-sized chip disappears in about 30 minutes, with no need to replace the whole windscreen.

Follow us

How the repair goes

Three steps, about 30 minutes - and the windscreen is saved.

  1. 01

    Assessing the damage

    We check whether the chip can be repaired, then clean and dry the spot.

  2. 02

    Resin injection

    Under pressure we force in a special resin that fills the chip and bonds the glass together again.

  3. 03

    UV curing

    We cure the resin with a UV lamp, then sand and polish - the mark becomes almost invisible.

What the service involves

An unrepaired chip grows over time and ends in a costly replacement of the whole windscreen. A chip the size of a two-zloty coin, for instance, can comfortably be removed, so the glass stays where it is. The repair takes about 30 minutes and we remove 95-100% of the damage - depending on how long ago it appeared, after the repair it is either invisible altogether or barely visible, like a faint smudge.

A two-zloty-coin chip can be removed

A chip the size of a two-zloty coin, for instance, can comfortably be removed, so the windscreen does not go for replacement.

Repair instead of replacement

In everyday driving, windscreens are exposed to damage. Do you have a chip that annoys you and makes driving harder? Do you want to avoid a fine and having your registration document taken by the police, or is a technical inspection coming up and you want to avoid failing it? A chip in the windscreen does not have to mean an expensive replacement - we can remove it in a matter of minutes.

About this serviceSpecifically about what this page describes. 6 questions
Will the chip be visible after the repair?

After the repair a faint, almost invisible mark remains - there is no technology that repairs a chip with no trace at all.

Can a chip be repaired in the rain?

Yes, but the repair then takes about 2 hours (the chip has to be dried out as well) and costs slightly more.

Does a chip have to be repaired straight away?

Yes - the sooner the better. An unrepaired chip grows over time, and then only a full replacement is left. After the repair the risk drops by 95%.

How long does the repair take?

The repair takes about 30 minutes, an hour at most.

Do I need an appointment to have a chip removed, and how far in advance?

You can come to our workshop for the repair at any time, with no appointment needed.

What does the service cost?

Removing a single chip costs PLN 250 net. For larger damage we agree the price individually.

Price and appointmentWhat it costs, how we calculate it and when there is a slot. 5 questions
How much does a repair cost and what does the price depend on?

A PDR repair starts from PLN 100 net. The final amount depends on the size and depth of the damage, its place on the body and how much work it takes to reach the panel from behind. Two dents that look alike can differ twofold in price precisely because of access.

Are the inspection and the quote paid for?

No. Looking the car over under the lamp, counting the dents and giving a price are free and commit you to nothing. The quote you get is binding - we do not change it during the work.

Will you give a price over the phone?

We can give a range, but a reliable quote means seeing the damage. The quickest way is to send two photos: the whole panel and a close-up at an angle, in side light. On that basis we can usually say whether a paintless repair is possible.

How soon will I get an appointment?

For small repairs usually within a few days, often the same week. After a bigger hailstorm in Warsaw the queue can be longer - then it is worth calling straight away rather than putting the decision off.

Can I pay by card and get an invoice?

Yes. We accept card, cash and bank transfer, and we issue the invoice to a company or to a private person - just say so when you hand the car over.

The visit to the workshopHow the car is taken in and how long it takes. 5 questions
Where are you and do I need an appointment?

We work in Warsaw. Booking is advisable - that way the bay and the lighting are free for your slot and the repair starts as soon as you arrive. For the inspection alone you can drop in after calling ahead.

How long does a repair take and can I wait on site?

Most small repairs take from 30 minutes to 3 hours and you can wait for them. The car is left for longer only for a larger job, for example after hail or when the headliner has to come out.

Does the car need preparing before the visit?

It is enough for the damaged spot to be clean - a layer of dust makes assessment under the lamp harder. Nothing needs dismantling and no extra documents are needed.

What happens if it turns out on the spot that the repair is impossible?

We say so straight away, before starting work, and charge nothing. We usually then suggest what scope of work would be needed and what it really costs.

Do you come out to the customer?

For simple repairs it is possible. Harder finishing work comes out better in the workshop, because there we have constant, controlled light - and that is what decides whether the repair will be invisible.

Guarantee and paperworkHow lasting the repair is, invoices and settling a claim. 5 questions
What guarantee do you give on a repair?

A properly worked panel does not go back to its dented shape - the metal is brought back to the state it was in before the damage, not masked. We show the result at handover under the lamp and in daylight; if anything raises doubts, we correct it as part of the repair.

Will the repair be visible when I sell the car?

No. With the PDR method the paint is neither sanded nor reapplied, so a paint thickness gauge shows the factory value. Nor is any entry created in the repair history.

Do you settle the repair with the insurer?

Yes. We prepare damage documentation and an invoice in the form the insurer accepts. For hail claims, the dent map from the workshop is the basis of the assessor's valuation.

Will I get before and after photos?

Yes, on request. We take the photos from the same position and in the same light, so what you see is the real difference, not an effect of the framing.

Do you work with companies and fleets?

Yes. We serve car dealers, rental firms and fleets - with an invoice, agreed rates and the option of taking in several cars on one date.
