Bumper scuffs are also sometimes referred to as bumper scrapes or bumper scratches. This type of damage is caused by catching another vehicle or stationary object such as a stone wall. Normally this scratches the paint revealing the black plastic underneath or possibly a dent if the impact was a little harder. This type of damage normally just affects the corner of your bumper or the bump strip.
Car bumpers are actually made of plastic so rust is not an issue, although a scuffed bumper can effect the overall look of your car and have a negative affect the resale value.
Mobile Car Bumper Repair – Scuffs, Scratches and cracked plastic
Auto Smart Repairs can repair almost all damage to bumpers, be it on a car, van or bus. It’s probably the most common repair we do and we are mobile and convenient, repairing only the local area of the bumper that is damaged. Bumpers are often scuffed in car parks, gateposts and walls. The damage can range from minor scuffing, deeper scratches or even cracks and splits.
Colour Coded and Textured Plastic Bumpers
Most newer cars have colour coded bumpers that match the colour of the cars paint work but the uncoloured, black or grey textured bumpers and trim can also be repaired to a virtually unnoticeable standard with specialist textured paint to recreate the original texture.
If your car does have colour coded bumpers then rest assured that we can mix the correct colour, on the spot, in the back of the van to match the original body paint colour. We used advanced technology to retrieve the most accurate colour we can.
Plastic Welding of Split and Cracked Bumpers
If your bumper has been cracked or split, we can also repair these with our specialist plastic welding tools. Melting a steel mesh over the crack or split, into the original plastic and using a special universal plastic stick melted into the repair, the repair will become stronger than the original bumper. This is then skimmed over with body filler, primed, painted with the matching paint colour and finally lacquered with high quality UV protecting lacquer to prevent fading of the repair.
