I don't know the costs, but if you're insured fully comp, your insurance company will fix it for free, or provide a new screen, if needed, at minimal cost (about £60 usually) without affecting your no claims.

A repair won't affect the NCD, but a new screen usually does, unless you have it protected..

Mine doesn't seem to... must read the policy again

Every policy I have had gives replacement screen cover and it does not effect the NCD

Hi,

I had my screen repaired FOC in March by the RAC's windscreen service in Kingston.

There were 5 bad chips with stars.

Now it's perfect.

Cost...Nothing at all

Benefit...The chips have gone and no longer will spread across the windscreen.
