Why repair a chip quickly?
Ottawa’s freeze-thaw cycles, potholes and road vibration make small chips spread into long cracks. Once a crack grows, a replacement is usually the only option. A quick repair restores strength and keeps costs low.
Which chips can be repaired?
- Bullseye, half-moon and star breaks
- Damage no bigger than a loonie (one-dollar coin)
- Chips that are not at the very edge of the glass
- Damage outside the driver’s direct line of sight is ideal
The repair process
We clean the break, remove air and moisture, inject a clear resin under pressure, then cure and polish it. The repair stops the chip from spreading and greatly improves clarity.
