How Much Does Stone Chip Repair Cost in Sydney?

Stone chip repair is one of the cheapest jobs in auto glass, but the exact price depends on a few factors. Here’s what goes into the cost and how it compares to a full replacement.

What Affects the Price

A few things influence what you’ll pay: the number of chips being repaired in one visit, where the damage sits on the windscreen, your vehicle type, and whether you need a mobile visit or a workshop booking. Multiple chips repaired in the same visit are usually cheaper per chip than booking separate visits.

Repair vs Replacement: The Cost Difference

Stone chip repair is typically a small fraction of what a full windscreen replacement costs. Since repair takes a fraction of the time and doesn’t require new glass, it’s almost always the cheaper option when the damage qualifies for repair rather than replacement.

Does Insurance Cover the Cost?

Many comprehensive insurance policies in Australia waive the excess entirely for stone chip repairs, since it’s cheaper for the insurer than paying out for a replacement claim later. Check your policy or ask your insurer directly, as this varies between providers.

How to Get an Exact Price

Because price depends on your specific vehicle and the size and location of the chip, the most accurate way to get a number is to send us a photo or book a quick assessment. Call 0405 412 951 or make an appointment and we’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
