Potholes and patched roads

In May 2026 Rekord reported a community forum filling deep potholes on Rubenstein Drive and at the traffic circle with Blouhaak Street. In late 2025 the ward councillor named De Villebois Mareuil Drive among the worst roads in his ward. Broken roads throw up stones, and every hard jolt flexes the windscreen.

That is why chips in this part of the east tend to spread. A chip that would sit quietly on a smooth road can crack after a few weeks of potholes.

A chip repair at a Moreleta Park home

Moreleta Park has many family homes and complexes with covered parking, which suits a mobile repair. The technician will look at the chip first. If it is small and away from the edge and the driver's view, they fill it with resin and cure it. If it is too far gone, they will tell you, and you can ask for a quote for a replacement through our windscreen replacement page.

  • Whether a crack has started to run from the chip.
  • Access in a complex and whether the body corporate allows contractors.
  • Your insurer's cover for chip repairs.

Frequently asked questions

Can I repair a chip myself with a kit?

Kits exist, but a poor fill can trap air and dirt and make a later professional repair harder. If the chip is in your line of sight, have a technician look at it.

How long does a chip repair take?

It is a short job compared with a replacement, but the technician will tell you how long for your chip. You can usually drive soon afterwards.

Will a repair stop the chip spreading?

A sound repair usually stops it spreading, but it is not a guarantee. Ask the fitter what cover, if any, they give on the work.
