Windscreen Chip Repair or Replace Checker
Answer 4 quick questions about your damage to see whether your windscreen chip is likely repairable or needs a full replacement, then get matched with a vetted Adelaide specialist.
What the checker looks at
The checker weighs 4 things: the chip size, whether there is a crack running from it, where on the glass it sits, and how many chips there are. A repair works while the chip is smaller than a 20c coin, out of the driver’s direct line of sight, with no long crack, and there are only 1 or 2 chips. Cross any of those thresholds and a replacement becomes the safe choice.
Remember that an Adelaide summer can turn a repairable chip into a full crack in a single hot afternoon, so acting fast matters. Read more in can a chip be repaired or does it need replacing?
Frequently asked questions
Can a chip in my line of sight be repaired?
Usually not. A repair can leave slight optical distortion, so damage in the driver’s direct line of sight is generally replaced rather than repaired for safety.
How big a chip can be repaired?
Generally a chip smaller than a 20c coin, in the centre of the glass, with no long crack. Larger damage or a crack of 15cm or longer usually needs a replacement.
Is a chip repair free on insurance?
On most comprehensive policies a chip repair is free and does not affect your no-claim bonus. Confirm with your insurer.
