Available in: Reading, Basingstoke, Bracknell, Newbury

✅ Step 2: Surface Preparation

Clean the area thoroughly
Mask off surrounding panels
Sand down any scuffs, cracks or dents to create a smooth working surface

⏱️ Most jobs take under 4 hours.

✅ Step 3: Filler & Shaping (If Needed)

Apply a specialist filler to deeper gouges or cracks
Once hardened, sand and reshape to match the bumper’s contours

🔧 This step ensures the repair blends seamlessly.

✅ Step 4: Priming & Paint Matching

Using manufacturer-spec paint codes, we mix your exact car colour. Then we:

Apply and cure a primer
Spray several light coats of colour
Use infrared heaters to speed up drying

🎨 We guarantee a perfect colour match, whether your vehicle is in Bracknell or Newbury.

✅ Step 5: Lacquer & Finish

Finally, we apply a UV-resistant clear coat for a glossy, showroom finish. After curing we:

Polish and buff the surface
Remove masking, clean the area and inspect every angle

✨ The result? A bumper that looks like new, with no trace of damage.
