When Do You Need Professional Windshield Repair?
You should consider professional windshield repair as soon as you notice damage, including:
- A chip or crack larger than a quarter
- A crack longer than a banknote or bill
- Damage located in the driver’s line of sight
- Chips or cracks near the edge of the windshield
- Deep cracks that penetrate the inner vinyl layer
- Cracks extending from one edge of the windshield to another
- Multiple chips or cracks
- Damage affecting ADAS functionality
In these situations, timely evaluation by a professional technician is essential to determine whether repair is still possible or if replacement is required for safety reasons.
Why Timely Windshield Crack Repair Matters
Even minor windshield damage can reduce visibility and weaken your vehicle’s structural integrity. Over time, chips and cracks are likely to spread—especially with temperature changes, road vibrations, or rough driving conditions.
Addressing damage early may help you avoid a full windshield replacement and higher repair costs. While insurance providers may allow some flexibility when filing claims, delaying repairs can compromise your vehicle’s safety, performance, and resale value.

Windshield Repair Process at Glass Labs
A stone chip can occur at any time and, if not repaired quickly, may spread into a crack that weakens your windshield. At Glass Labs, we use a fast and proven windshield repair process to restore strength, clarity, and safety.
Damage Inspection & Repair Evaluation
Our technicians begin with a detailed inspection of the damaged area to evaluate the size, depth, and type of chip or crack. This step allows us to determine whether windshield repair is a safe option or if replacement is required.
Resin Injection & UV Curing
Using specialized vacuum and pressure tools, we inject a high-strength repair resin into the chip or crack. A UV light is then used to cure and harden the resin within minutes, restoring the windshield’s structural integrity and preventing further spreading.
Cleaning & Preparation
The impacted area is thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, moisture, and loose glass. Proper preparation ensures the repair resin adheres correctly and delivers a durable, long-lasting result.
Polishing, Final Inspection & Lifetime Guarantee
Once cured, excess resin is removed and the surface is polished until smooth and clear. A final quality inspection is performed, and the repair is backed by a lifetime guarantee. If the repaired area later develops into a crack requiring replacement, the repair cost is credited toward a windshield replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a rock chip be repaired?
In many cases, yes. If the rock chip is smaller than a loonie and the damage has not spread, windshield repair is usually possible without replacing the entire glass. Our technicians inject a specialized resin that strengthens the glass, improves clarity, and helps stop the damage from spreading.
How long does a rock chip repair take?
Most rock chip repairs take approximately one hour. This includes surface preparation, resin injection, curing time, and finalizing insurance paperwork when applicable.
How much does rock chip repair cost?
For customers covered by ICBC Comprehensive insurance, eligible rock chip repairs are free, depending on the size, location, and number of impacts. For private insurance or out-of-pocket repairs, pricing varies based on the extent of the damage—contact us for a quick quote.
Will the chip completely disappear after repair?
Not entirely. Windshield repair is designed to restore the strength and safety of the glass and prevent further damage. A small mark or blemish at the impact point is normal after repair.
That said, most customers see a significant improvement in appearance. If a repaired chip later spreads into a crack, we’ll credit the cost of the repair toward a windshield replacement.
Why does the location of the damage matter?
The position of the impact plays a major role in determining whether repair or replacement is the safest option.
If the damage is in the driver’s direct line of sight, repairing it could still affect visibility, so windshield replacement may be recommended.
Additionally, chips too close to the edge of the windshield may not be repairable due to equipment limitations.
