Bumper repairs range because "a scuff" can mean anything from light paint transfer to deeper gouges, cracked plastic or damage that sits across edges and sensors. The quickest way to avoid guesswork is to quote from photos so the repair matches the real condition of the bumper.
What affects bumper repair cost?
1) Depth of damage
Light scuffs and paint transfer are typically simpler than deep gouges or cracks.
2) Size and location
Repairs on corners, edges and complex curves can be more involved than flat areas.
3) Paint type and colour matching
Some colours and finishes require more careful blending to avoid visible differences in daylight.
4) Previous repairs
Older repairs may need extra prep to ensure the finish bonds properly.
SMART repair vs full bumper respray
A SMART repair can be ideal when damage is localised. If the damage is widespread or across multiple edges, a larger repair or respray may be the best route for a consistent finish.

FAQs
Is bumper repair cheaper than replacement?
In most cases, yes. Repairing the existing bumper is typically more cost-effective than buying and painting a new one. We only recommend replacement if the bumper is cracked through or structurally compromised.
Do you repair plastic bumpers?
Yes — we repair both plastic and metal bumpers. Plastic bumpers can often be welded and reshaped if cracked, then painted to match.
Will parking sensor damage be picked up?
Yes — if your bumper has parking sensors, we check their operation after repair. If a sensor is damaged, we'll flag it in the quote and can replace it if needed.
