OH has suffered a chip to her windscreen (fits within a £1 coin, not in the drivers visibility area, car's a Yaris). Ringing round for quotes to get fixed- all in the £70-£100 mark - wtf?- seem to remember getting chips fixed for £30 a few years back-

Not going through insurance as policy has a silly excess on glass repair

With this in mind, anyone have any recommendations in the Guildford area?- at this rate I may just buy a kit and do it myself!

Is she fully comp? If so you get it fixed for free by a mobile guy. If not try national windscreens (one in Aldershot). A new screen for my E36 beemer was only £130 fitted.

It may really cost you nothing - the insurance companies pick up the bill because it's loads cheaper than having to fork out for a new screen - something they may well have to do if you don't get it repaired. I have the same excess, and had mine done for nothing last year (Admiral)
The chip repair people will know

You may find the excess with your insurers is less for repairs than a replacement, worth checking if you haven't already..
