Before
AfterA scuffed bumper drags the whole car down
Bumper scuffs are the most common cosmetic damage we see — tight car parks, kerbs, bollards and gate posts catch everyone eventually. The damage is usually shallow, but it’s the first thing you (and everyone else) notice.
SMART repair fixes the damaged area only, rather than refinishing the whole bumper. That keeps the job local, quick and tidy: most scuffs are repaired in a few hours at your home or workplace, blended and colour-matched to the surrounding paint.

Send photos first — if it needs a different repair route, we’ll say so.
Guide prices
Honest guide prices — a ballpark from your photos, the final figure confirmed at inspection.
| Repair | Guide price |

| Larger bumper scuffs / scrapes | From £160–£280 |
| Multiple panels / bumper + wing | Quote after photos |

Prices are guide prices only. Final quote depends on damage size, location, paint type, colour, access, weather, and whether the repair is mobile-suitable or workshop-suitable. Send photos for an accurate ballpark.
What affects the price
- Size and depth of the scuff
- Position on the bumper (edges and curves take longer to blend)
- Paint type — pearlescent and tri-coat colours need extra blending
- Sensors, cameras or trims near the damage
- Mobile-suitable or workshop-suitable
Mobile or workshop?
Most bumper scuffs are ideal mobile repairs — we need off-street parking or a workplace car park and reasonable weather. Larger scrapes, cracked bumpers and complex colours are usually better in the workshop where lighting and conditions are controlled. We confirm which route suits your job when we quote.
How to send photos for the fastest quote
- One close-up of the damage, about 30–50cm away
- One wider shot showing the whole panel or wheel
- Vehicle make, model and colour (a photo of the whole car helps)
- Your postcode so we can confirm coverage
- Whether you’d prefer mobile or workshop
Daylight photos work best. Don’t worry about making it look good — we’re used to reading real-world photos.

Why photos first?
Photos let us quote quickly and honestly. We can usually tell straight away whether a mark will respond to SMART repair, whether it needs the workshop, or whether a bodyshop is the better route. That saves you time — and means the price we give you is one we can stand behind at inspection.
Common questions
How long does a bumper scuff repair take?
Most single-corner scuffs take 2–4 hours on site. Larger scrapes or workshop jobs can take longer — we confirm timing with your quote.
Will the colour match?
We use your vehicle's paint code plus on-panel blending to match the surrounding paint. Some colours (certain pearls and tri-coats) are harder to blend on site, and we'll tell you upfront if your colour is better suited to the workshop.
Can you repair a cracked bumper?
Small splits can sometimes be repaired, but cracks often need bumper removal or replacement, which is bodyshop territory. Send photos — we'll tell you honestly which route makes sense.
Do I need to do anything before you arrive?
Just make sure the car is accessible and ideally washed around the damaged area. We bring power, materials and covers.
Is the quote fixed?
Photo quotes are ballpark figures. We confirm the final price at inspection before any work starts — no surprises.
