Bumper repairs near Heathrow for cracks and scuffs

Plastic welding, reshaping and refinishing — repair before replacement.

Most bumper damage can be repaired rather than replaced. Cracks and splits are plastic-welded, distortion is reshaped, and the bumper is prepared with flexible primers before refinishing.

Where a bumper is beyond safe repair, we supply, fit and colour match a replacement, transferring sensors and trims correctly.

Before you book, our guide to the cost of fixing a car bumper explains what affects the price of each type of bumper damage.

Why most bumpers can be repaired

Modern bumpers are plastic, and plastic can be repaired well when it is done properly. Cracks and splits are plastic welded from behind, distorted sections are reshaped, and broken mounting lugs are rebuilt so the bumper sits straight again. The surface is then prepared with flexible primers, because plastic moves and ordinary primer would crack, before it is refinished and colour matched.

Repairing rather than replacing usually saves on parts and means the bumper already fits your car's exact variant.

When replacement makes more sense

If a bumper is badly torn, missing large sections or cannot be made safe, we supply and fit a replacement and colour match it to the rest of the car. Parking sensors and trims are transferred across correctly. Whichever route is right, we will explain it plainly. Send photos of the damage for a free, no-obligation estimate, or bring the car to our workshop near Heathrow.
