🔍 What Affects the Bumper Repair Cost in the UK?
Not all bumper repairs are the same. Here is what can influence the closing price:
1. Type of Damage
Is it a scratch? A dent? A crack? Each requires different tools and time.
2. Paint Matching
If your bumper needs respraying, the cost may increase depending on the color and finish (especially for metallic or pearlescent paints).
3. Bumper Material
Plastic bumpers are common, but some models have reinforced or sensor-integrated bumpers – these need special handling.
4. Labor & Location
Prices vary across regions. At M&A Repairs in Stoke-on-Trent, we offer competitive rates without compromising quality.
💡 Can You Fix Bumper Damage Yourself?
For exceptionally light surface marks, you might try:
DIY scratch removal kits (£10–£30)
Paint pens (temporary)
But... if you care about finish and value:
🛑 DIY repairs often cause more damage in the long term.
Instead, opt for a professional finish with proper color blending, like we do at M&A Repairs Body Shop.

If the damage is small, a SMART repair (Small to Medium Area Repair Technique) is a great solution.
Fast (same day in many cases)
Localized (no full respiration needed)
