Mobile car scratch repair

Keyed doors, car-park scrapes and trolley marks colour-matched back to the manufacturer's original paint code.

A scratch that stays in the lacquer is purely cosmetic. Once it reaches bare metal, corrosion can start to spread under the surrounding paint, so deeper scratches are best repaired sooner rather than later.

Damage we handle

  • Key scratches down a door or wing
  • Car-park scrapes along the flank
  • Trolley marks and gate rash
  • Scratches through to primer or metal

How we do it

The car scratch repair process

Carried out at your home or workplace, from a self-contained mobile unit. Most jobs are finished in a single visit.

A Shine! technician carrying out a car scratch repair Get your fixed price
  1. 1

    The technician checks how deep the scratch goes and matches the colour to your car's paint, allowing for any fading with age.

  2. 2

    The damaged area is prepared and any exposed metal is sealed to protect it.

  3. 3

    Colour is applied and blended into the surrounding paint, so there's no visible line where the repair meets the original.

  4. 4

    The repair is lacquered and polished to match the shine of the rest of the car.

Questions

Car scratch repair: your questions

Can't find what you need? See all our FAQs on booking, guarantees and the repair day, or get in touch.

How do I know if my scratch can be repaired?

Run a fingernail lightly across it. If it does not catch, the damage is confined to the lacquer and is straightforward. If it catches, it has broken through to the colour or primer and needs refinishing - which we still carry out mobile, at your address.

Will the repaired area match the rest of the car?

Yes. We match the colour to your car's paint, allowing for any fading with age, and blend it into the surrounding area so there is no visible join.

Can you repair a scratch that crosses two panels?

Yes. Because it covers two panels, it is priced as two repairs, and we will make that clear in your quote.

Where do you carry out the repair?

Wherever your car is - a driveway, a residential street or a workplace car park. Our technicians work from self-contained mobile units, so you shouldn't need to provide power or water.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the depth of the damage, the panel it sits on and the paint type. Send us your registration and two photos of each damaged area and we will come back with a fixed price - the price we quote is the price you pay.
