Scuffs, cracks, splits, and resprays — repaired to a factory-quality finish at IQ Tyres in Mitcham. Most repairs completed same day, colour-matched to your exact paint code.
Not all bumper damage is the same. Our assessment determines the correct repair method for each type.
Paint transfer and shallow scratches from car park incidents, kerb strikes, or minor impacts. Repaired by wet sanding, polishing, and spot repainting where necessary.
Scratches that have cut through the paint and primer to the plastic substrate. Require primer, colour coat, and lacquer application with careful blending into surrounding panels.
Structural cracks in the bumper plastic from impacts. Repaired using plastic welding and filler where the crack is clean, followed by reshaping, priming, and repainting.
Bumper sections that have been pushed inward from a direct impact. Repaired using heat reshaping and specialist tools. May require filler and full respray depending on severity.
Complete colour respray of the entire bumper — required when damage is extensive or when a replacement bumper has been fitted. Colour-matched and lacquered to factory standard.
When damage is too extensive for repair, we can source and fit a replacement bumper, then respray it to match your vehicle's paint code.
We inspect the damage and advise repair vs replacement. No obligation.
The bumper is cleaned, degreased, and the damaged area is sanded back to a stable surface.
Cracks are welded or filled. Pushed-in sections are reshaped using heat and specialist tools.
Primer, colour coat, and lacquer are applied using your vehicle's exact paint code.
The repair is polished and blended. We inspect under multiple light sources before handover.
Most cracks, splits, and deep scuffs can be repaired rather than replaced, saving you significant cost. We assess the damage first — if the structural integrity of the bumper is compromised or the damage is too extensive, we will advise replacement. However, the majority of bumper damage we see is repairable.
A standard scuff or shallow crack repair typically takes 2–4 hours. More extensive damage requiring filler, reshaping, and a full respray may take a full day. We will give you an accurate time estimate when you bring the vehicle in for assessment.
We use computerised paint mixing matched to your vehicle's exact paint code (found on the VIN plate or door sill sticker). The repaired area is colour-matched, blended into adjacent panels where necessary, and lacquered to match the factory finish.
Minor scuffs and scratches start from £80. Cracks and splits with reshaping and respray start from £150. Full bumper resprays start from £200. Final price depends on the extent of damage, paint complexity, and whether the bumper needs to be removed for repair.
For minor bumper damage, paying directly is often more cost-effective than making an insurance claim, which may affect your no-claims bonus. We provide a written quote so you can make an informed decision. We can also work with insurance companies if you prefer to claim.
Yes. Plastic bumpers can often be reshaped using heat and specialist tools. We assess whether the bumper can be reformed or whether it requires filler and reshaping before repainting. Bumpers that have been pushed in significantly may also need clip and bracket inspection.
