What is stone chip repair?

Small chips on the bonnet and front panels filled and sealed before rust starts.

Gravel roads and highway driving leave small chips on the front of the car. Each chip is cleaned, treated if rust has started, and carefully filled with matched paint, then levelled so it is far less visible.

Signs you need it

  • Dots of missing paint on bonnet or bumper
  • Small rust spots starting
  • Many chips after a road trip

How it works

  1. Clean and degrease
  2. Treat any surface rust
  3. Fill chips with matched paint
  4. Level and clear coat
  5. Polish

You can choose a workshop visit or have a professional come to your home, work or depot.

How much does it cost?

The exact price depends on your vehicle and the job. On MYLES, each professional shows a fixed price, a starting price, a range, or sends a quote — so you can compare like for like before you book.

  • Number of chips
  • Rust treatment needed
  • Paint colour

Tips

  • Paint protection film can prevent future chips on the bonnet
  • Fix chips before winter

Why it matters

Prevents rust and keeps the front of the car looking sharp.

Why fix small stone chips?

Chips expose the metal underneath and can start rusting, which spreads under the paint.

Can chips be prevented?

Paint protection film on the bonnet and front bumper is the most effective protection.

How long does a stone chip repair take?

Usually not long for a few chips. Your provider confirms the time in their price or quote.
