Our Comprehensive Car Scratch Repair Process
We employ a systematic approach that ensures consistently superior results:
1. Professional assessment
Our technicians examine each scratch to determine depth, length, and optimal repair method.
2. Surface preparation
The damaged area undergoes thorough cleaning and preparation for maximum repair integrity.
3. Precision repair application
Depending on scratch depth, we implement appropriate filling, sanding, and refinishing techniques.
4. Expert colour formulation
We prepare custom-mixed paint* to perfectly match your vehicle’s colour, accounting for age and environmental exposure.
5. Seamless application
Using professional spray techniques when necessary, we apply colour with precision to ensure invisible blending.
6. Clear coat protection
A durable clear coat layer seals and protects the repair while enhancing depth and gloss.
7. Quality inspection
Under varying light conditions, we verify perfect colour match and finish integration.
*We use the world’s first water-based paint approved by all OEM car manufacturers — a premium, eco-conscious choice.
Begin Your Bumper RestorationUnderstanding Vehicle Scratch Types
Not all scratches require the same treatment. Our approach varies based on damage severity:
Level 1: Clear Coat Scratches
Surface-level scratches that haven’t penetrated beyond the clear coat layer. These often appear white or faint and can frequently be corrected through professional polishing techniques.
Level 2: Base Coat Scratches
Deeper scratches that penetrate the clear coat and reach the coloured base coat. These require filling and precise colour matching for invisible repair.
Level 3: Primer Scratches
Significant scratches that extend through both clear coat and colour layers to expose the primer. These demand comprehensive repair including primer restoration, colour matching and clear coat application.
Level 4: Metal Exposure
The deepest scratches that reveal bare metal require immediate attention to prevent rust formation, utilising our complete refinishing process.
Our technicians accurately assess each scratch’s severity to implement the appropriate repair strategy.

Common Questions About Car Scratch Repair
How do I know if my scratch can be repaired?
Most automotive scratches can be successfully repaired. The determining factors include depth, length, and location. If the scratch hasn’t significantly damaged the panel structure, we can typically restore it to like-new condition. Our technicians can assess photos of your damage or provide an in-person evaluation.
Will the repair be noticeable?
When performed by our certified technicians, scratch repairs are virtually undetectable. We use precise colour matching technology and professional application techniques that ensure repairs blend seamlessly with surrounding paintwork, even under close inspection.
How long does scratch repair take?
Most single scratch repairs are completed within 1-3 hours at your location. More extensive damage or repairs requiring multiple techniques may take longer, but we’ll provide a clear timeframe before beginning work.
How soon should I repair a scratch?
Ideally, scratches should be repaired promptly, particularly if they’ve penetrated to metal. Exposed metal can begin to oxidise quickly, potentially leading to rust formation that complicates repair. Even clear coat scratches should be addressed reasonably soon, as they compromise your paint’s protective layer.
Can you repair scratches on any colour vehicle?
Yes, our colour matching technology allows us to perfectly match any factory paint colour, including special finishes like metallic, pearl, and matte paints. We take into account factors like paint age and environmental exposure to ensure invisible repairs.
