Windscreen Crack, Can I fix it myself?
Posted by Glass Doctors | Filed under Windscreen Repair
Would you fix your own teeth if you had a drill?
Probably not… so why people think they can repair their own windscreens after watching a 20 minute video is bizarre!
We see many DIY kit “repairs” during the working day, ( some even carried out by German Prestige main dealers!)
- Many “repairs” still have water in them because the repairer could not recognise it or remove it ( fact: 50% of windscreen breaks have residual water in them betwen November and February!)
- Many DIY resins just go yellow and fall out just days or weeks after they have been used (even if they have passed the British Standard!)

JUST LIKE THIS!
- Many DIY kit repairers cannot manipulate a break so that the resin gets into every crack (therefore the cracks are not bonded back together as they should be and the screen could still crack out!)
- We have sucessfully re-repaired many chips that have been attempted by others. Just to show customers how it should be done!

JUST LIKE THIS!
- You only really get one chance to repair a screen properly, and the sooner the better, why risk your £300 windscreen to save £5 or trust a company who also fits screens as well ?
Remember, our repairs are the industry standard, your glass will look ” Barely detectable” as required by the MOT rules and your insurance company can pay for it – why even bother trying yourself, or trusting a replacement company who might “accidently crack” your screen whilst attempting a repair.
