Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about car window tinting in Lincoln.
The cost depends on the type of vehicle and how many windows you'd like tinted. As a rough guide, a rear half tint on a standard hatchback starts from around £100–£150, while larger vehicles like SUVs and vans will be a bit more.
We'd rather give you an accurate price than a vague estimate — send us a message or call 07796 822574 with your vehicle details and we'll get a quote to you the same day.
Yes — tinting your rear windows is completely legal in the UK, and there's no limit on how dark you can go on the rear half of the vehicle. The back windscreen, rear side windows, and quarter lights can all be tinted as dark as you like.
The only restriction is on the front windscreen (must allow 75% of light through) and front side windows (must allow 70% through). Most factory glass already sits right at these limits, so any additional tint on the front windows would be illegal. We always check before we start and we'll never fit anything that puts you on the wrong side of the law.
Yes — tinted rear windows won't affect your MOT at all. The MOT test only checks light transmission on the front windscreen and front side windows. Since we only tint the rear half of the vehicle, your car will pass with no issues.
If you're ever unsure, just get in touch — we know most of the local garages around Lincoln and can speak to your MOT tester if needed.
We offer a full range of professional shades to suit every preference:
5% (Limo Tint) — our darkest option. Maximum privacy and a bold look. Popular on rear windows, motorhomes and caravans.
15% — a deep tint that's great for keeping kids and pets cool in the back.
20% — our most popular shade. A good balance of privacy and visibility.
35% — a medium tint with a subtle, understated finish.
50% — light and sleek, perfect if you want the benefits of tinting without going dark.
70% — the darkest shade legally allowed on front windows.
Not sure which is right for you? Send us a photo of your car and we'll recommend the best option.
Most vehicles are done in around 2 to 3 hours, depending on the size and number of windows. You're welcome to drop your car off and we'll let you know as soon as it's ready — our workshop is just off the A46 in Lincoln so it's easy to get to.
Yes — every tint job comes with a Lifetime Guarantee. That covers bubbling, peeling, fading, and discolouration. If anything goes wrong with the film, we'll sort it — no questions asked.
We only use high-quality professional films, so issues like the cheap purple-fade you see on budget tints simply don't happen with us.
Yes, significantly. Window tint blocks a large amount of solar heat from entering the cabin, which means a cooler car on warm days, less strain on your air conditioning, and better fuel economy. It also blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting your skin and preventing your interior from fading and cracking over time.
If you've got children or pets travelling in the back, tinted rear windows make a noticeable difference to how comfortable they are.
We recommend keeping your windows up for at least 15 days after installation to let the film cure and bond properly. If you absolutely need to open a window in an emergency, it won't peel off instantly — but the longer you leave them up, the better the final result.
Not with us. Bubbling and peeling are signs of cheap film or poor installation — two things you won't find here. We use professional-grade film with full surface preparation before every application.
In the unlikely event something does go wrong, it's covered under our Lifetime Guarantee — we'll redo it at no cost.
Wait 5 to 7 days before cleaning the inside of your windows to let the film fully cure. After that, use a soft cloth with a standard glass cleaner — nothing abrasive or ammonia-based. We clean your glass before the car leaves our workshop, so you're covered for the first few days.
Yes — window tint can be removed, but we'd strongly recommend leaving it to a professional. DIY removal often damages the glass or leaves behind a sticky adhesive residue that's a nightmare to clean off.
If you've had a bad tint job done elsewhere or you've got old film that's starting to go, we can remove it cleanly and retint the car properly so it looks the way it should.
