If your vehicle has suffered any windscreen damage, it’s vital that you have it fixed as soon as possible.
Not only is ignoring a damaged windscreen unsafe, but in some cases, it may also be illegal. Addressing windscreen damage early can also keep costs down, but how much do windscreen repairs cost?
This is often a question drivers want an answer to when looking for windscreen repair services, and while the price will vary, in this article, The Windscreen Company will take a closer look.
In truth, there is no set price for windscreen repairs. The price will vary significantly from company to company and will depend on the type of damage that has been sustained. On average, you may expect to pay between £50-£60 for a basic repair but this is a rough guideline.
For a windscreen replacement, the price will vary even more wildly. With so many different variations of glass out there, this service can cost anywhere from £195 all the way up to more than £1,000.
There are a wide range of factors that will influence how much windscreen repairs cost. Let’s take a look at some of the main ones:
Type of glass
Undoubtedly the biggest factor that influences the cost of windscreen repairs is the glass. Everything from the size of the windscreen to the make and model of your car will determine the type of glass you require – and the cost will be different depending on what you need. Fortunately, at The Windscreen Company, we have access to most types of glass. This means that no matter your make and model, we’ll be here to help.
The price will also vary depending on if the glass is:
How advanced your car is
Since 2016, most new cars come with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). In addition to HUDs, which directly impact windscreens, other ADAS features include lane departure warnings, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and much more.
Many ADAS systems require sensors and cameras that are integrated into the windscreen. In these cases, ADAS recalibration services will be required which can add to the cost.
The extent of the damage
The more severe the damage is, the more it will likely cost to repair. This is why it is so important to address damage as soon as you can. Driving with minor windscreen damage runs the risk of it getting worse and, therefore, more costly.
With this in mind, full windscreen replacements will cost more than simple repairs.
Your location
The further away you are from your company of choice the more they are likely to charge you for the work.
You should always choose as local a company as possible for this reason, and at The Windscreen Company, we serve all parts of the West Midlands and the South East.
Sometimes, it may be possible to claim for windscreen damage on your insurance. However, this will depend on the specifics of your individual policy, so you should always check it thoroughly before making a claim.
Even if your policy does cover windscreens, you should check your excess as paying for the repairs outright may be more suitable than claiming the work on insurance. The Windscreen Company aims to help with insurance claims wherever possible.
