FAQS
SMART repair stands for Small to Medium Area Repair Technique. Rather than repainting an entire panel or replacing a bumper, SMART repair targets only the damaged area — whether that's a scratch, a dent, a scuff or a crack. The result is a faster, more affordable repair that's visually indistinguishable from the surrounding paintwork. It's the same technique used by manufacturer-approved repairers, delivered to your driveway.
The cost of scratch repair depends on the size, depth and location of the scratch. Surface scratches in the clear coat typically start from around £80. Deeper scratches that cut through to the paint layer or bare metal are priced individually depending on the extent of the damage. We always provide a clear, upfront quote before any work begins, send us a photo and we'll come back to you with an accurate price.
Most bumper scuff repairs start from around £100, with larger scuffs or combined scuff and crack repairs priced accordingly. A professional bumper repair is significantly cheaper than a full bumper replacement, which can cost £400–£1,200 including parts and fitting. We'll give you a clear quote based on a photo of the damage before booking.
