How It Works - Getting Your Windscreen Replaced | Windscreen Supermarket
For drivers

Getting the right glass,
without the guesswork

Your car may take any one of dozens of windscreens. We work out which, so the companies quoting you are pricing the right glass — and the figure you’re shown is the figure you pay.

Five steps, start to finish

From a cracked windscreen to a fitted one. Nothing to pay until you choose a quote.

  1. 01

    Tell us about your car

    Enter your registration and we’ll identify your vehicle, then ask a few short questions about the glass and any sensors. If the reg isn’t recognised — which happens with newer and imported cars — you can pick your make, model and year by hand.

    Local companies quote on your job

    Independent fitting companies near you price the work and send a quote. You see them side by side with the glass and the fitting included in every figure, alongside each company’s rating, reviews and distance from you.

    No obligation to accept

  3. 03

    Choose a company and book

    Pick the quote you want and the day that suits you. You pay securely by card at that point and your booking is confirmed straight away, with an invoice in your account and the company notified at the same moment.

    Fitting day

    Your fitter removes the damaged glass and fits the new one — allow one to two hours for a windscreen. Cars with a camera behind the mirror are recalibrated, your old glass is taken away, and the adhesive needs time to cure before driving. They’ll tell you how long.

    Afterwards

    The fitting company stands behind its own work, and the guarantee it offers is shown on your invoice. Your booking history, payments and vehicle details stay in your account, and you can leave a review so other drivers know how it went.

What’s in the price

Windscreen quotes have a reputation for growing on the day. Yours is priced against your actual vehicle.

The glass and the fitting

One figure covering both, including recalibration where your car needs it. No add-ons at the door.

They come to you

Most companies fit at your home or workplace. Some prefer their workshop in poor weather.

Your old glass taken away

Removed and disposed of properly — nothing left for you to deal with.

Secure card payment

Handled by Stripe, with your invoice generated automatically the moment you book.

Quotes are free and you are under no obligation to accept one. If you need to cancel you are always shown the exact refund amount before you confirm — cancel early, before the glass has been ordered, and you get a full refund. The published schedule is set out in our .

Questions
about the process

What drivers ask us once they’ve booked.

Your booking is confirmed immediately and an invoice appears in your account. The fitting company is notified at the same time and will confirm arrangements for your chosen day. You can message them through the platform at any point.
