Bumpers, by their very definition, need to absorb impact. Usually attached to, although sometimes integrated into, the front and back of the car – bumpers are a horizontal bar that are physically designed to help reduce any minor impact or shock a car may suffer. It is because of this that it is imperative to keep your bumper healthy.
Bumpers are designed to hold firm against minor impact. Any scratch, dent, or crack can affect the integrity of the bumper, potentially leaving it open to weak spots or even rust.
Luckily, bumper repair is a fast and efficient bumper protection solution that can help keep your bumper functioning properly for longer. Through using a SMART repair technique (see below), we can complete a full bumper repair in a matter of hours. This results in a fantastic and flawless finish, whilst often being able to complete the repair cheaper than most body shops.
No matter what type of bumper you have, and no matter what kind of damage has been inflicted upon it, we can help return your car to pristine condition. At ChipsAway, our car bumper repair specialists can complete plastic bumper repairs, textured, and painted bumper repairs, depending on what it is you need.
Here, at ChipsAway, we specialise in SMART bumper repairs. SMART stands for Small to Medium Area Repair Technology and means that (unlike traditional car body shops) we don’t normally need to remove or replace the entire bumper to repair any scratches, dents, or cracks in the bumper. Instead, we can conduct a highly focused fix, blending the repair into the surrounding area.
When a bumper is dented, the paint isn’t always broken. When the paint isn’t scratched or scraped, it may be possible to repair the dent without needing to apply any new paint to the car simply by massaging any dent out of the bumper. When the paint has been broken, however, such as with a scratch or scuff, we have developed a fantastic process to ensure the repair blends in and isn’t visible once the repair has been completed.
In order to accurately blend the repair and to guarantee an excellent, accurate repair, we use a piece of equipment called a spectrophotometer whilst cross-checking our repair against the manufacturer’s original colour code specification. Through both checking the manufacturer’s colour code specifications, and through using the spectrophotometer, we can make sure we perfectly match the shade of paint on your car. This ensures that the colour and texture of your bumper are seamlessly restored back to its original condition. Our professional colour and texture matching technique ensures that we do justice to your car repair, and it delivers incredible results each and every time.
With blending technology and the SMART technique, our repairs can often be completed at a fraction of the cost of a traditional body shop and are often less expensive than the premium on your car insurance. This means you won’t need to make a claim on your insurance to get your car back in fantastic condition, ensuring that your insurance premium doesn’t increase due to a slight ding in your bumper.
If you would like to find out more about how we can use SMART techniques to restore your bumper, you can contact your local expert today. Alternatively, you can request a free estimate here.

A bumper is a horizontal device that is usually attached to, or built into, the front and rear of the car. Bumpers are designed to help absorb shock, lessen the impact, and help prevent damage to the car. It is because of this that your bumper is often the front line of defence to your car.

If your bumper has been damaged, then the good news is that we do not need to remove the bumper from the car in order to repair it. Instead, at ChipsAway, we conduct SMART bumper repairs. Through conducting a SMART repair, we can focus on the precise area that has been damaged and blend the repair into the surrounding area. This often makes the repair faster and more cost-effective.
Bumper protection is key to upkeeping a safe and functional bumper. Once your bumper has been repaired, we recommend that you wait for five days to allow for any paint to have fully cured before washing or polishing the bumper. Once those five days have passed you are able to wash and polish the bumper as normal. We would recommend, if you want to keep your car in fantastic condition, washing the bumper at least once or twice a month (depending on usage). We would also recommend using a premium car wax to give the bumper an extra layer of protection against the elements.

If you have lightly damaged your bumper, you may be able to repair plastic bumper scuffs and scrapes with a DIY kit at home. Unfortunately, if your bumper is cracked or split, a DIY kit will not be up to the job, as the repair process becomes more complicated. You will likely need a specialist bumper repair technician to seal the split, by sanding, sealing and painting the damaged bumper, for the best results.
We are so confident in our repairs that they come with a lifetime ownership guarantee.
