Bumper Repairs in Reigate, Dorking, Redhill & Surrey | Reigate Auto Refinishing
Your bumper has an important role to play when it comes to keeping you safe on the road, absorbing shock during fender benders and major collisions, and protecting vital under-hood internal mechanisms like your vehicle’s cooling system. This is the main reason it pays to keep them in good condition, the other being that even minor damage like bumper scuff can impact aesthetics, making your vehicle look worse for wear and reducing resale value. If you’ve experienced damage and are looking for a local accident repair centre within easy reach of Surrey locations like Redhill and Dorking, Reigate Auto Refinishing is on hand to provide bumper repairs to restore your vehicle, and get you back on the road as if nothing had happened.
How We Go About Fixing Damaged Bumpers…
As an accident repair centre, we encounter various types of bumper damage on a daily basis. Common issues include minor scratches or bumper scuff caused by low-speed collisions or parking mishaps. These bumper repairs often involve a combination of sanding, filling and painting techniques, whether your bumper is plastic, aluminium or steel. SMART repairs, which you can learn more about by clicking here, are often a fantastic option. For deeper scratches or cracks, more extensive bumper repairs may be required, involving plastic welding or replacement of damaged sections. Built around the core values of honesty and transparency, we ensure motorists in and around Dorking, Redhill and Reigate are recommended the appropriate techniques, keeping costs and turnaround times to a minimum.
Other frequent problems we deal with at our accident repair centre are bumper dents, often resulting from rear-end collisions. Depending on the severity, these dents may be fixed using techniques such as heat reshaping, dent pulling or panel beating. In cases where the damage is extensive, a complete bumper replacement might be necessary. If your bumper has suffered structural damage, we may look to assess the internal support of the bumper and either reinforce it with additional materials, or replace the entire bumper assembly. In this sense, bumper repairs are always bespoke.
