Key marks, door scratches and branch damage
A fine line on a door and a deep scratch through the colour may look alike from a distance. Vehicle Pro Painters considers the depth, affected panels and paint finish before explaining the suitable repair for your car.
For marks from a hedge or tree branch, show the full length of the scratch along the side of the vehicle. Several affected panels need to be assessed together. Our car and door scratch repair page explains how surface marks and deeper paint damage differ.
Bumper corners, scuffs and painted trim
A low-speed scrape can scuff a painted bumper corner, mirror cover or panel edge. Send a close-up and a wider view of the part, including any dents, cracks or loose fittings. These details help establish whether the work is a cosmetic paint repair.
Read about bumper scuff repairs for front and rear corners, or local paintwork repairs for chips and scratches on other painted parts.
Clear photos, an agreed quote and a visit
Include your vehicle make and model, Broadstairs postcode and preferred work location with the photos. We discuss the repair and available working space before arranging your appointment. Most suitable cosmetic repairs take around 2–4 hours, with the expected time confirmed for your job.
We also take enquiries for scratch and scuff repairs in Margate and mobile scratch and bumper repairs in Ramsgate. For smaller places, see our Thanet village coverage. Send the postcode where the vehicle will be repaired so we can check the practical arrangements.
Photo assessments are provisional. Repair options depend on the vehicle and actual condition of the damage.
