How it Works
You can request your booking in seconds, with no long forms to fill out or pre-payment required. Just follow this five-step process to request an appointment at the right cosmetic repairer for you.
- Enter your reg and postcode
- Use our ‘splat’ tool which helps you correctly select your car’s damage and estimate the right cosmetic repair. You can select multiple repairs across multiple panels as part of your estimate (full price breakdown available in estimate details)
- Compare instant estimates from local repairers to find the best one for your needs
- Select a suitable date and time and enter a few contact details to request a booking
- Upload images of the damaged area(s). This will help your chosen repairer ensure you’ve requested the correct repair and been shown the right estimate.
Your chosen repairer will always double-check your selection before confirming the final price as well as the appointment details.
You can also book scratch and dent repairs on our platform.
Why Would I Not Just Go Through My Insurer?
Although it might seem more convenient to make a claim through your insurance policy, booking a SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) repair yourself is usually the better long-term option – especially if you’ve worked hard to build up your no-claims discount.
Making any sort of claim on your insurance may reset this, so why would you want to waste all your hard work on something you can easily sort on your own?
Taking control of your SMART repair will also ensure your insurance premiums don’t rise in the long-term and, when you don’t have to worry about paying any excess, you might also be able to get a great deal in the process.
You should still let your insurance provider know about any accidents or collisions, especially if there was another vehicle involved, even if you don’t plan on making a claim on your policy.

Frequently asked questions
Providing images to help with this process ensures your estimate can be updated if you’ve selected the incorrect damage, avoiding your estimate significantly increasing when you arrive for your SMART repair.
You also don’t need to let your insurer know about any SMART repairs when it’s time to renew your policy, so it won’t result in a potential premium increase either.
These listings are marked with a blue ‘Mobile’ badge to make it easier for you to see who can come and complete your cosmetic repair at home.
If you’ve received estimates for a small scratch and it turns out your car needs a large scratch repair, for example, the price may change after the repairer reviews the images you upload.
Once you’ve chosen a repairer, you deal with them directly from start to finish, paying only after the work is complete – giving you full peace of mind.
Once you’ve chosen a repairer, we suggest uploading images of your damage as soon as possible to help them ensure they can complete the correct repair.
In general, SMART paint repairs cover surface level damage across one or more panels without the need to replace or respray entire sections of bodywork. If your car has suffered more severe damage, especially if there appears to be structural damage, you may need to get an accident repair sorted through your insurer.
Please ensure you select the correct repair on every affected panel and promptly upload images of all the damage to get the best deal on your car’s SMART repairs.
