Chip & Crack Repair

Windscreen Chip & Crack Repair

A stone chip won't stay small for long in the Queensland heat. A resin repair takes about 30 minutes, brings back the strength of your factory glass and stops the chip running into a full-width crack — for a fraction of the cost of a new screen.

A stone chip is a small problem with a short fuse. Leave it sitting and Queensland heat plus a few kilometres of rough road will walk it straight across the screen — and a thirty-minute job turns into a brand-new windscreen. Get it to us early and we'll usually save the glass.

We repair the lot on-site: bulls-eyes, stars and the spidery web cracks. A vacuum-pressure injection draws the air and moisture out of the break, forces optical resin in, and we cure it rock-hard under UV light. That brings back the strength of your factory-sealed screen and stops the damage travelling — start to finish in around half an hour.

Because a repair keeps your original factory glass, it's quick and it's a fraction of the price of a new screen — and it leaves the seal and any ADAS camera bracket exactly as the manufacturer set them. Catch the damage early and you've saved yourself the time and cost of a full replacement.

Is it repairable?

Rough guide: smaller than a $2 coin, at least 5cm in from the edge, and clear of the driver's direct line of sight — that's usually a repair. The fresher and cleaner the damage, the stronger and less visible the result, so don't sit on it.

Why the heat matters here

Moreton Bay summers are hard on damaged glass. Park in the sun, then hit the air-con, and that temperature swing can jump a stable chip into a running crack in seconds. A quick resin repair now is the cheapest protection against a full screen later.

A straight answer, every time

A repair restores strength and halts the spread, but it won't make the mark vanish completely, and long or edge cracks are past saving. If it's in your eyeline or already running, we'll tell you straight and replace it instead — we won't talk you into a repair that won't hold.

Questions, answered

Still not sure? Call us — we'll talk it through, no pressure.

01 Can you fix my glass at my home or office, or do I have to come to you?

Both. We're a mobile service across Morayfield, Caboolture and the wider Moreton Bay Region — our technicians come to your home, workplace or business fleet yard and carry the trade equipment to do a clean windscreen replacement or chip repair wherever your vehicle is safely parked. You're also welcome at our workshop at 9/30-36 Dickson Rd, Caboolture South.

02 How long does a windscreen replacement take, and when can I drive?

A standard mobile windscreen replacement usually takes 45 to 60 minutes to fit. We use premium, fast-curing structural adhesives with a certified Safe Drive-Away Time of around 30 to 60 minutes after the glass is bonded. Your technician confirms the exact safe drive time on-site before handing back your keys, so you're always compliant with Australian safety standards.

03 Can a small stone chip be repaired, or does the whole windscreen need replacing?

If the chip or star fracture is smaller than a $2 coin and sits at least 5cm from the outer edge of the glass — and isn't in the driver's direct line of sight — it can generally be repaired without removing the windscreen. Our high-vacuum resin injection restores the strength of the glass in under 30 minutes, saving you time and money before the damage spreads in the heat.

04 Will a cracked windscreen pass a Queensland roadworthy inspection?

Generally, any crack that extends into the driver's direct line of sight, or any crack longer than 30mm anywhere on the glass, will fail a Queensland roadworthy (safety certificate) inspection and make the vehicle unroadworthy. Repairing chips early or replacing heavily damaged glass keeps your vehicle compliant and avoids costly fines.
