Bumper scuff repair in Derby
Clipped a gatepost, a kerb or a car park pillar? Scuffed, scraped and scratched bumper paint repaired on your driveway, where the bumper itself is intact.
What’s covered
Cosmetic bumper paint repairs
Bumper corners take the brunt of everyday parking. When the paint is damaged but the bumper is sound, the paint can be repaired and refinished.
Bumper scratches
Lines and scrapes across the bumper paint from walls, posts and other cars.
Scuffed lower edges
Paint damage along the lower edges of the bumper. Photos help Jamie check how much is affected.
Is it suitable?
Scuffed, or cracked?
This is the first thing Jamie checks, because it decides whether a paint repair is the right fix.
- The paint is scuffed, scraped or scratched
- The plastic underneath is intact
- The bumper sits straight and is secure on its fixings
Not offered: cracked, split or broken bumpers, distorted or pushed-in plastic, and broken clips or brackets. These need a plastic repair or a replacement bumper.
The repair
How a bumper scuff is repaired
A bumper is plastic rather than metal, so the preparation is a little different from a metal panel.
- Clean and assess. The bumper is cleaned and checked for cracks hidden under the scuff.
- Flat back and mask. The scuffed area is smoothed and the surrounding paint and trim protected.
- Prime and paint. The area is prepared for paint on plastic, then colour and lacquer go on.
- Blend and finish. The new paint is blended into the surrounding bumper paint.

FAQs
Bumper repair questions
Scratches on doors or wings? See car scratch repairs, or go back to mobile car paint repairs in Derby.
Do you repair front and rear bumpers?
Yes, both. Send photos of whichever bumper is damaged.
Will the paint match the rest of my car?
The repair is painted to suit your car’s colour and blended into the paint around it. Some colours and finishes are trickier than others, and Jamie will tell you what to expect when he quotes.
Can you fix a cracked bumper?
No. Cracked, split or broken plastic needs a plastic repair or replacement, which BlendX Auto doesn’t offer. Jamie repairs the paint on bumpers that are otherwise intact.
My bumper is pushed in. Can you help?
If the bumper is pushed in or misshapen, that isn’t a paint repair, so it isn’t something BlendX Auto takes on.
