Car Window Tintingnear Gainsborough
Down the A156 alongside the Trent, or across on the A57. Around 35 minutes either way.
Down the Trent on the A156
The straightforward run is the A156 south out of Gainsborough, following the Trent down through Lea and Marton — about 19 miles and roughly 35 minutes.
The alternative is the A57 across to the A1500 and down, which is worth considering if the A156 is busy. Both bring you into the west side of Lincoln.
Aim for Whisby Road in the south-west of the city. We're just off it on Farrier Road, with free parking outside.
Why Gainsborough drivers travel for this
Gainsborough customers often come to us after a bad experience elsewhere — film that's started lifting at the edges, or a purple cast that's appeared after a couple of summers.
We can strip old film cleanly and retint the car properly. It's worth having done professionally: pulling tint off a rear screen yourself very often takes the demister elements with it, which turns a cheap job into an expensive one.

How dark do you want to go?
There's no legal limit on the rear half — it's entirely down to the look you want. Send a photo of your car before you set off and we'll tell you what suits it.

Gainsborough questions
Can you remove bad tint fitted somewhere else?
Yes, and it's one of the more common jobs we get from the Gainsborough direction. We strip the old film, clean off every trace of adhesive and retint with professional film that carries our lifetime guarantee. Send us a photo and we'll tell you what's involved.
How much does car window tinting cost?
It depends on the vehicle and how many windows. As a rough guide, a rear half tint on a standard hatchback starts from around £100–£150; SUVs and vans are a bit more.
Send a photo and your reg to 07796 822574 and we'll come back with a real price the same day — worth doing before you set off from Gainsborough.
Is car window tinting legal in the UK?
Tinting the rear half is completely legal with no limit on how dark you go — rear windscreen, rear side windows and quarter lights included.
The front is capped: the windscreen must let 75% of light through and front side windows 70%. Most factory glass already sits at those limits, so we check before we start and won't fit anything that puts you the wrong side of the law.
Will tinted windows pass an MOT?
Yes. The MOT only tests light transmission on the front windscreen and front side windows. We tint the rear half, so your car passes with no issues.
Do your tints come with a guarantee?
Every tint carries a lifetime guarantee covering bubbling, peeling, fading and discolouration. If the film ever fails we redo it at no cost — which matters rather more when you've driven 19 miles to have it done.
How long before I can put my windows down?
Leave them up for at least 15 days so the film cures and bonds properly. It won't peel off instantly if you have to open one in an emergency, but the longer you leave them the better the final result.
