My Cracked Bumper Repair Process
Repairing a cracked bumper requires a different approach to a scuff or scratch — the structural integrity of the plastic needs to be restored before any finishing work begins. Every bumper crack repair I carry out follows this professional multi-stage process at your location.
1. Assessment & Protection
The bumper is assessed, cleaned and degreased to prepare the surface. Your vehicle is then covered with a protective Low-Density Polyethylene sheet to shield the surrounding paintwork throughout the repair.
2. Crack Repair & Stapling
The crack is carefully lined up and sealed using a bumper hot stapler — inserting metal pins across the crack to fuse the plastic back together and restore the structural strength of the bumper. This is the key difference between a bumper crack repair and a simple scuff or scratch repair.
3. Filling & Reshaping
Once the crack is sealed, the damaged area is filled and reshaped to restore the panel to its original contour, ensuring a smooth and even surface before any sanding begins.
4. Sanding & Preparation
The repaired area is sanded using a direct orbital sander with graded paper depending on the extent of the damage. The area is then masked off, degreased and blown clean ready for priming.
5. Priming & Colour Matching
UV primer is applied to the repair area and cured using a UV lamp, then sanded smooth. Your car’s exact paint colour is scanned on site using a photospectrometer, mixed to your vehicle’s precise specification and applied using a professional spray gun.
6. Lacquer & Finishing
Lacquer is applied and dried using an infrared lamp for a full cure. Once cooled, the lacquer is sanded with fine paper, machine polished with cutting compound and waxed — leaving the bumper looking as good as new.
How Much Does Bumper Crack Repair Cost in Kent?
One of the most common questions I get asked is how much a cracked bumper repair costs and how it compares to a full bumper replacement. In most cases, repairing a cracked bumper is significantly cheaper than replacing it, and the result is just as good.
As a general guide:
- Hairline or stress cracks — from £250
- Single clean crack with paint damage — from £250
- Larger split or impact crack — from £250
- Full Bumper — from £300
