Scratch & Paint Repair: an overview
Not every scratch needs a full panel repaint. The right repair depends on how deep the scratch goes. We assess it and recommend the most appropriate approach.
Problems we can help with
- Key scratches
- Scuffs from walls or other vehicles
- Stone chips on the bonnet
- Scratches through to primer or metal
- Dull or swirled paintwork
What we do
Light surface marks can sometimes be improved by machine polishing. Deeper scratches that go through the clear coat or colour need to be repaired and repainted, blending into the surrounding paint so the repair is not noticeable. We explain which applies to your car before any work begins.

Scratch & Paint Repair: frequently asked questions
Can scratches be polished out?
Scratches in the clear coat only can often be reduced or removed with polishing. If you can catch a fingernail in the scratch, it usually needs paint repair.
