| Vehicle | Package | Price |

What the price includes
- Quality film, cut and heat-shrunk to your glass
- Full removal of door cards where access requires it
- Legal-shade advice before any film goes on
- Same-day turnaround on most vehicles
- Warranty against bubbling, peeling and purpling
What can change the price
- Old film that needs stripping before the new film goes on — tint removal is €200.
- Unusually large or steeply curved rear glass on vans and estates.
- Sunroofs and quarter lights, which are priced as extras.
- Ceramic or high-heat-rejection film instead of standard film.
A note on legality, because it affects what you can buy: Irish law limits how dark the windscreen and front side windows can be. Rear windows behind the driver have no such limit. Read the detail on our Irish tint law page before choosing a shade.

Some of the most affordable window tinting in Ireland — fitted, warranted, in the South East
Affordable here means the price you are quoted is the price you pay. A rear set on a three-door hatchback is €140 fitted, a full car from €190, and an SUV or jeep tops out at €240 — film, labour, door cards off where needed and warranty all included. There is no travel charge, no mobile premium and no add-ons at the counter.
The cheapest sensible option for most drivers is the rear set on its own. Glass behind the driver has no legal darkness limit in Ireland, so that is where the privacy and heat reduction come from. Front glass has to stay light to pass the NCT and a Road Safety Authority roadside check — 65% light transmission on the windscreen, 50% on the front sides. The plain-English version is on Citizens Information, and our own breakdown is on the Irish tint law page.
We work from one workshop — Unit 9, Gorey Business Park, Gorey, Co. Wexford — rather than a van, which is exactly why the prices stay where they are. See finished cars in the portfolio or how the fitting is done before you decide.

Cost questions
Window tinting cost questions, answered
How much does it cost to tint car windows in Ireland?
At South East Window Tinting a set of two front windows starts at €90 on a three-door hatchback, a rear set from €140 and a full car from €190. Saloons start at €100 and SUVs or jeeps at €110, up to €240 for a full SUV. Every figure is the fitted price in euro — film, labour and warranty included.
What is the most affordable window tinting in Ireland?
The cheapest way to tint a car properly is a rear set only: the glass behind the driver has no legal darkness limit, so you get the privacy and heat reduction people actually want without paying for light legal film on the fronts. On a three-door hatchback that is €140 fitted. Anything cheaper than that in Ireland is usually a mobile job with unbranded film and no warranty, which costs more once it bubbles and has to come off.
Is cheap window tinting worth it?
Not if the film purples or bubbles inside two summers. Our prices are deliberately kept low by working from one workshop in Gorey rather than running a mobile van, and by fitting a warranted film. You pay once, and the warranty covers bubbling, peeling, cracking and colour change.
Are there any hidden costs?
No. The price quoted at booking is the price on collection. Two things are quoted separately because they cannot be seen until the car is in: stripping old film that a previous installer fitted, and extras such as sunroofs or quarter lights.
Do you charge more for customers outside Wexford?
No. The same fitted prices apply whether you drive from Gorey, Enniscorthy, Wexford town, Arklow, Carlow, Waterford, Kilkenny or Wicklow. There is no travel charge and no mobile premium — you bring the car to the workshop and drive it away the same day.
How much is it to tint a van?
Vans and jeeps are priced on the SUV / jeep scale: from €110 for the front pair, €190 for a rear set and €240 for a full van excluding the windscreen. Larger, deeply curved rear glass can add to that, and we confirm before starting.
Do I pay a deposit?
A small deposit secures the slot and the balance is paid on collection. If you need to move the date, tell us in advance and the deposit moves with the booking.
Does the price include removing old tint?
No — tint removal is a separate €200 charge, because old film on a heated rear screen has to be steamed off slowly to protect the demister lines.
