Mobile fitting in Southampton, with a workshop option in Fareham
Automotive
Workshop or mobile fitting
In Southampton, you can choose a mobile visit or take your car to Global Tint's Fareham workshop. Dave Horton and Darren Baldock fit the film here. For fitting at home or work, the van carries the equipment and provides its own electricity, so you don't need to supply power.
We come to Portswood and Bassett, fitting the film inside your car's windows. That means the job can go ahead in the rain. You'll normally need about 1.5 to 2.5 hours for a full car, depending on the vehicle.
Global Tint Southampton
Choosing your shade
We fit film to rear side windows and the rear windscreen, and your installer advises on legal choices for the front glass. The shades run from Onyx 5%, the darkest shade, through Luna 20%, Twilight 35% and Fifty 50% to the lightest, 70%; those numbers tell you how much light passes through. You can preview each one on your make and model using the tint viewer. For film on your home or workplace windows, see our Southampton home and office window film page.

A three-minute look at a Global Tint installer fitting window film to a customer’s car.
What happens when I bring the car in?
The installer looks over the car, goes through the shades and which are legal on each window, then fits the film from inside the car. Most cars take 1.5 to 2.5 hours, and you get a warranty card, a microfibre cloth, a keyring and care instructions at the end.
Does the weather matter?
No. Your car is tinted inside the workshop, so rain doesn’t affect the booking.
What if something goes wrong later?
Car tint comes with a lifetime warranty for as long as you own the car. If it peels, bubbles or fades, get in touch and we put it right.

What you get with every car
Every car tint has a lifetime warranty while you own the car, and the job isn’t finished until you’ve seen the result.
A clean handover
Before you leave, the installer goes round the car with you so you can see the finished windows.
Lifetime warranty
For as long as you own the car. If the tint peels, bubbles or fades, get in touch and we put it right.
Aftercare kit
A warranty card, a microfibre cleaning cloth, a keyring and care instructions. Small water bubbles or a slight haze are normal while the film dries, and they clear on their own.
The Global Tint way
Fitted at our workshop
Global Tint has tinted cars since 2010, and every installer is trained to the same standard at our training facility.
Indoors, whatever the weather
The film goes on inside the workshop, so a wet day doesn’t cancel your booking.
Backed while you own the car
If the tint peels, bubbles or fades, we put it right.

John13 February 2026 - Car tinting
Fantastic service from Global Tint
“We recently used Global Tint to have our car windows tinted and couldn’t be happier with the service and the finished result. Dave came out to do the work and was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. He took the time to talk us through the whole process, gave us great advice on choosing the right shade, and explained everything we needed to know about the aftercare. The tint looks fantastic and has made a real difference to the car, especially by providing more shade and keeping it more comfortable for our dog when travelling in the boot. We’re really impressed with the quality of the work and the overall service. A big thank you to Dave — we would definitely recommend Global Tint!”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions drivers in Southampton ask us most.
Is mobile fitting available beyond Southampton itself?
Yes, we can come to you in areas just outside the city. We also visit Bursledon & Hound North, Hedge End South and Harefield. You can use the car quote tool on this page to get a price before choosing a fitting time.
Who does the car tinting in Southampton?
Dave Horton and Darren Baldock are the installers covering Southampton. Both are trained to the same standard at Global Tint's training facility. Your technician also covers Winchester, 11 miles away, and New Alresford, 16 miles away.
Can you fit window film at my Southampton home too?
Yes, home and office window film is available in Southampton. For house windows, request a price through the home and business quote form; the quote depends on the windows. Available finishes include neutral, mirror, dual reflective, ceramic, frosted and blackout.
What light limits apply to the front of my car?
If your car was first used on or after 1 April 1985, at least 75% of light must pass through the windscreen and 70% through the front side windows. Earlier vehicles need 70% through both. Those limits apply to the glass and film together; rear side windows and the rear windscreen allow any shade.
How long does the car-tint warranty last?
The warranty lasts for as long as you own the car, covering tint that peels, bubbles or fades. The installer will come back to your home or workplace to fix those problems. You'll receive a warranty card and instructions for caring for the film.
