Paint scratch repair is a SMART fix for scratches, key marks and stone chips that have gone through the lacquer or into the colour coat. A technician repairs and refinishes just the affected area, colour-matched to your car, rather than respraying a whole panel. It handles everything from a light scuff that's caught the paint to a deeper key scratch, restoring a clean, factory-standard finish locally. It's a much cheaper and quicker route than a traditional panel respray, and one that can be done at your home or workplace. Across Reading and the wider Berkshire area, including Reading town centre, Caversham, Tilehurst, Woodley, Earley, Lower Earley, the repair is carried out at your home or workplace, so there's no garage drop-off and no days without your car.

How the repair is carried out

The technician assesses how deep the scratch goes. Light marks that sit in the lacquer can often be machine-polished out; deeper scratches through the paint are cleaned, filled if needed, primed, colour-matched and refinished, then blended and polished into the surrounding panel. Paint is matched to your car's factory code so the repair disappears in normal light. Because only the damaged area is refinished, most scratch repairs are completed in a few hours on-site, with no need to leave the car at a bodyshop for days.
