What is bumper scuff repair?
Scrapes and scuffs on plastic bumpers repaired and refinished without replacing the bumper.
Most bumpers are flexible plastic, and parking scrapes rarely need a new part. The technician sands and fills the damaged area, applies flexible primer, matches the paint and blends it into the surrounding panel. Many smart repairs can be completed at your home or work in a few hours.
Signs you need it
- Scrapes on bumper corners
- Paint scuffed down to the plastic
- Small cracks or gouges
How it works
- Clean and assess the damage
- Sand and feather edges
- Fill and shape
- Apply flexible primer
- Colour-match and blend
- Clear coat and polish
You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.

Why it matters
Mostly cosmetic, but it keeps resale value and prevents cracks spreading.
