Parking scuffs, reversing scrapes, trolley marks, key scratches and paint gone dull with age. Almost all of it sits in the paint or the top of the plastic, which is where a repair works best.
Scrapes, cracks and small holes are usually repairable by plastic welding, filling and refinishing. Replacement is the right call when the bumper cannot be made sound, or a repair would interfere with sensors. We will tell you which.
Plastic flexes where steel does not, so bumper paint carries a flexible additive and cures differently. Many bumpers also leave the factory a shade off the panels beside them, so getting one right means blending into its neighbours, not just matching a code. That is where 22 years in the trade shows.
Every bumper is refinished in our dedicated booth, where temperature, airflow and moisture are controlled and the light lets us judge colour properly. Dust and moisture in the air spoil paint as it cures, and the booth allows us to achieve quality results.
How deep the scuff goes decides most of it, along with whether the bumper has to come off and whether a metallic needs blending into the wing. Send a photo to 07939 755264 for a free, no obligation quote.
Minor damage is repaired with the bumper on the car. Extensive damage means taking it off and painting it away from the vehicle so the colour wraps around the edges. Light scratches or dull gloss can sometimes be wet sanded and machine polished rather than repainted. We are happy to assess and advise.
We assess the bumper in good light and give you an honest opinion on repairing or replacing.
Colour is mixed to your paint code and checked on a test card against your bumper before we commit.
The new paint is blended into the panels either side, then flatted and polished to an even finish.
We sit just off the A11 and A14, with customers from Mildenhall, Newmarket, Thetford, Stowmarket, Haverhill, Ely and Cambridge. Bumper scuffs are the classic end of lease charge, and a regular job for the dealers and fleets we look after.

Bumper corners and scratched doors are the bread and butter of our week, and they arrive from every direction: multi storey scuffs from Bury St Edmunds, tight car park knocks from Cambridge, and hedge and verge scrapes from villages around Ixworth and Stowmarket.
