Call a windscreen repair service when you spot a chip, star, or crack that is larger than a £1 coin, blocks your line of sight, or is spreading quickly due to temperature changes, especially if the damage lies within the central ‘critical zone’ of the windscreen.
Ask whether they offer a mobile service, what type and brand of resin they use, how long the repair typically takes, what guarantee or warranty they provide, and if they have experience with your specific vehicle make and model.
Prepare by cleaning the windscreen, removing any items near the repair area, having your car’s registration and any relevant insurance details at hand, and confirming you can spare a 1‑2‑hour window for the technician to complete the work.

Most chip repairs in Oxford cost between £50 and £80, depending on the size and location of the damage.
A typical chip repair can be completed in about 30 to 45 minutes, and you can usually drive your car immediately after.
It’s best to book an appointment to guarantee same‑day service, though some shops accept walk‑ins if they have available slots.
