My bumper repair service can save you upto 75% on traditional bodyshop prices.
Scuffs, scratches, cracks and dents are often repairable for less than your insurance excess.
A body shop can typically take 3 to 5 days to repair your vehicle, I can repair it at your premises within a couple of hours, at a fraction of the cost.
Most bodyshops will tell you that the bumper needs replacing, even for fairly minor damage. I believe in repairing and not replacing, where ever possible, thus reducing cost and time.
My van contains a paint mixing scheme enabling all colours to be matched to the manufacturers formulation. Sometimes it is necessary to adjust the colour to take into account sunlight fading etc, this is where over 14 years of experience makes all the difference. It is very rare that a colour defeats me.

This Vauxhall Omega front bumper had obviously received a considerable knock. The owner took it to a Body Repair Centre who advised her that the bumper was beyond repair and therefore would have to be replaced, at a cost of £ 450 !!
Fortunately I was repairing a bumper across the road at a neighbours house and the owner noticed my van and came over. I felt it was repairable assuming I could 'massage' the dent back into shape first.
This was one of those situations where I couldn't be sure what could be achieved until I started repairing.
My policy in this situation is :- if I feel that there is a reasonable chance of achieving a satisfactory repair then I will start the repair, if at some stage it becomes clear that the damage is beyond repair then I will inform the customer and leave without charging for my time.
Once I had removed the dent then the repair became a standard job and as you can see the end result speaks for itself. The repair was carried out on the customers driveway and took 90 minutes from start to finish.
I quoted the owner, prior to commencing the work, £ 85 plus VAT and she happily paid that sum. When you consider the car would have gone to a Body repair Centre for 3 to 5 days and cost £ 450 it is no wonder the customer was happy.

This Suzuki Vitara rear bumper was quite a straightforward repair. It just needed a light sanding down, priming and then painting and lacquering.
It took 1 hour and cost the customer £ 70 plus VAT. Again this repair was carried out at the customers home, on her day off.
The apparent difference in the colour match here is explained by the difference in light. The problem with 'before' and 'after' photo's is that the light has often changed by the time the repair is finished. The 'before' photo was taken in sunlight which had disappeared by the time the 'after' photo was taken.
If you look at the 'after' photo you can see the bumper matches the body panel above.
