Bumpers take the brunt of everyday motoring — kerbs, bollards, parking knocks and low-speed shunts. Motorcare Body Repair repairs scuffed, scratched, cracked and split bumpers for drivers in St Helens, using the latest plastic repair methods so that your bumper looks as good as new.

Bumper damage we repair

  • Scuffs and scrapes from kerbs, walls and parking.

  • Damage to bumper trims, grilles and lower spoilers.

Repair or replace?

Replacing a bumper means buying a new unit, painting it and fitting it — which adds up quickly. In most cases a damaged bumper can be repaired and refinished for considerably less. We will give you an honest view: if a repair would not last, or a replacement is genuinely the better option, we will say so.

How a bumper repair works

  1. Assess the damage and check for anything behind the bumper — sensors, brackets, reinforcement bar and lights.
  2. Repair the plastic using the appropriate method for the type of damage, rebuilding cracks and splits so they will not reopen.
  3. Prepare and prime the repaired area so the paint will adhere properly to the plastic.
  4. Paint and lacquer in your car’s colour, blended into the surrounding area.
  5. Refit the bumper and any sensors or trim, and check everything lines up correctly.

Bumper Repairs: your questions answered

Can a cracked bumper be repaired rather than replaced?

Very often, yes. Modern plastic repair methods let us repair cracks, splits and holes in plastic bumpers and refinish them. Where a bumper is badly broken or the mounting points are destroyed, replacement may be the better option — we will advise either way.

Will the repaired bumper match the rest of the car?

Yes. Once repaired, the bumper is primed, painted in your car's colour and lacquered, then refitted. Plastic bumpers can need a slightly different paint process to metal panels, and we allow for that.

What about parking sensors and cameras?

Many bumpers house parking sensors, cameras or radar units. We take these into account when planning the repair and refit them correctly.

How long does a bumper repair take?

A typical scuff or crack repair takes a day or two because the paint needs time to cure before the bumper is refitted. We will confirm when you book in.

How much does a bumper repair cost?

It depends on the damage. Send us photos for a free estimate — repairing a bumper is usually considerably cheaper than replacing and painting a new one.
