GUIDE PRICES
Car body repair prices by job
Guide prices for our most common jobs. We confirm your exact price from your photos before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
All prices are a guide. We’re not VAT registered, so there’s no VAT to add on top.
WHAT AFFECTS THE PRICE
Why prices vary from car to car
Size of the damageA scuff the size of a coin costs less than one across the whole corner.
How deep it goesClear-coat marks can be polished; damage through to primer or metal needs filling and painting.
Where it isEdges, swage lines and plastic bumpers take more shaping than a flat, open panel.
Your paintSolid colours are simplest. Pearl, metallics and 3 stage colours take more time and material to match.
How many panelsEach extra panel adds to the job. We focus on 1–2 panels per visit, 3 at most, to keep turnaround quick.
Parts and sensorsParking sensors, trims and clips may need removing and refitting.
WHY PEARL COLOURS COST MORE
Three-stage pearl paints
Most vehicles use a two-stage paint: a colour coat, then clear. Many pearl colours, especially pearl whites, are three-stage paints. That means three separate layers to spray, and much more work to match.
1
Ground coatThe base colour goes on first. It sets the colour underneath the pearl and has to be exactly right, or everything on top of it will be off.
2
Pearl mid coatA see-through pearl layer is sprayed over the ground coat. The number of coats changes the shade, so it has to match the original car exactly.
3
Clear coatFinally, lacquer protects the colour and gives the deep gloss. Only then can the colour be judged properly.
How we match a three-stage colour
STEP 1Find the paint codeWe check the code on the car so we start from the right formula.
STEP 2Spray test cardsWe spray the ground coat, then pearl coats in steps on test cards (“let-down” cards), and clear them.
STEP 3Compare in daylightWe hold the cards against your car to find exactly how many pearl coats match.
STEP 4Blend into the panels around itWe fade the new colour into the neighbouring panels so there’s no visible line.
Because of the extra coats, test cards and blending, three-stage pearl repairs take longer and use more material, so they cost more than solid or metallic colours. We’ll always tell you up front if your car has one.

HOW PRICING WORKS
Your price, agreed before we start
1Send photosUse the form or WhatsApp. A photo of the whole panel and a close-up is ideal.
2Get your priceWe reply within 4–5 hours with a price and a date.
3Price agreedNothing starts until you’re happy. If we find hidden damage, we tell you first.
4Payment on collectionNothing to pay up front. Pay when you collect your vehicle, by cash or bank transfer.
Why can’t you give an exact price without photos?
Two scuffs can look alike in words but need very different work. Photos let us see the size, depth and paint, so the price we give is the price you pay.
Do you charge for a quote?
No. Quotes are always free and there’s no obligation.
Is there a discount for more than one panel?
Yes. Our multi-panel discount applies when 2 or more panels are repaired in the same visit, so it works out cheaper per panel.
Are your prices cheaper than a main dealer?
Yes. We’re usually cheaper than a main dealer, with the same quality of finish. Every repair is matched to your paint code and covered by our lifetime paint warranty.
