Bumpers and scuffs

Kerbed it?

Scuffed bumper corners, kerbed skirts, cracked plastic. Repaired and painted rather than replaced wherever the plastic allows, which is most of the time.

What we do
  1. We check whether the plastic is scuffed, split or pushed off its clips, because each is a different job.
  2. Scuffs are sanded out and repainted on the corner, and the colour is faded along the bumper so there is no line.
  3. Splits are welded from behind and rebuilt so you cannot find the crack.
  4. Only when the bumper is past saving do we fit a new one, and we say so before we do.
A corner like this

Sometimes the mark is not deep at all, but you keep seeing it every time you walk up to the car. A kerbed corner is about the most common job we see, and one of the smallest on the pad.

What will it cost?

A bumper corner is nearly always non-insurance work.

Send us the photos and you get a figure without ringing anyone.
