Headlight restoration in Braintree and the surrounding villages — covering CM7, CM77 and CM6. We come to your address across Braintree, Bocking, Great Notley, Halstead and Witham, restoring oxidised headlights to factory-clear.
Braintree's a popular area for us — a real mix of older family cars, commuter cars heading to London, and locals running about between the village centres. Most of the work we do here is preventative: getting onto cloudy headlights before they cause an MOT advisory. UV sealant is included on every job, no extra charge.
Bocking, Great Notley, Halstead, Witham, Cressing, Stisted, Coggeshall, Earls Colne, Black Notley, Felsted.
Modern headlights are made from polycarbonate plastic with a thin UV-protective coating on the outside. After a few years, that coating breaks down — leaving the lens to oxidise in the sun. The result is the cloudy, yellow or hazy look you see on most cars over 4 or 5 years old.
We don't just polish the surface. Our process removes the damaged oxidised layer entirely with multiple grades of wet-sanding, then machine-polishes the lens back to optical clarity, then seals it with a UV ceramic coating to stop the damage coming back. The sealant is included with every job as standard — most other restorers charge extra for it.
Pricing depends on the vehicle and the state of the lenses. The quickest way to get a price is to send us a couple of photos on WhatsApp — we'll get back to you within minutes with a fixed quote and the next available slot in Braintree.
