Book a Prompt Paint Repair Near You to Keep Your Car Looking its Best

You want your car to look its best. Shiny, undamaged paintwork that gleams in the sun makes driving feel much more enjoyable – not to mention that it ensures your resale value also remains high.

So, when your car needs a paint repair, you want to get the problem sorted as quickly as possible. But how do you know who to trust or what your car needs? And should you go through your insurer or sort the issue yourself?

Well, we’re here to help you find the very best deal on your car’s paint repair, even if you know nothing about car maintenance.

And when you take control rather than relying on your insurer, it can bring both short- and long-term benefits.

 

Why Would I Not Just Book My Car’s Paint Repair Through My Insurer?

It’s very easy to damage your paintwork without being involved in a collision. Small stone chips can be caused by road debris and accidentally scraping a hedge on a narrow road can leave nasty scratches that expose bare metal or primer.

As these can happen at any time, why would you put your no-claims bonus at risk for something so small, especially as you’ve worked so hard to build it up?

While it might seem easier to book your paint repair through your insurer, it can lead to increased future premiums. Every time you make a claim, you become a riskier driver in your insurer’s eyes.

Not only that, but do you really want to lose control over choosing the right repairer to complete the work, or run the risk of being given an appointment that doesn’t fit into your schedule?

We now work with a growing network of SMART repairers to help you stay in control of your paint repairs and get the very best deal along the way.

Flexible Booking Options and Convenient Paint Repairs that Truly Revolve Around You

Your convenience is our priority – because when you book an appointment that revolves around you, you instantly get more value for money compared to one that doesn’t.

That’s why we offer 24/7 comparison to help you request a paint repair wherever you are, whenever you have a spare minute – even if local repairers are shut. It’s also why we highlight mobile repairers in your area who can complete the work on your driveway, and why we highlight those repairers who offer same- or next-day appointments through the ‘Available From’ banner on their listing.

In short, it’s why we go the extra mile to put you first.

 

Transparent Price Comparison with No Pre-Payment Required

When getting the best deal matters to you, the last thing you want is a nasty surprise when you’re presented with the bill. We believe in transparent comparison, so every repairer on our network sets and updates their labour and material rates themselves to ensure what you see is what you’ll pay (unless you agree to additional work with them directly or require a different repair).

Most importantly, there’s no pre-payment required to make a booking. You always pay the repairer directly after all the work has been done, so you never have to worry about getting ripped off or paying over the odds for sub-standard service.

And that makes it a lot easier to get great value for money.

 

We Only Work with the Best to Give You the Peace of Mind You Deserve

We always make sure you can trust your chosen repairer. From only working with those that meet our high standards of customer service to removing any that continually let customers down, we go to great lengths to ensure we provide you with a quality comparison.

It’s also why we show as many verified, unfiltered reviews as possible for each repairer on our network. These highlight genuine experiences from real people to give you total confidence in your choice and ensure you always drive away satisfied.

 

How Do I Book a Paint Repair Near Me?

If that level of quality and control is exactly what you’re after, just follow our simple five step process to book a paint repair near you in seconds.

  • Enter your vehicle details and postcode into our booking tool at the top of the page
  • Select your car’s paint damage using our splat tool. Please take care to select the correct damage as this will influence the estimates you see.
  • 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 your booking
  • Upload images of the damage to help your chosen repairer confirm your booking as soon as possible

 

Why Do I Need to Upload Images of the Damage?

We allow every repairer on our network the chance to review each booking before confirming that they can complete the work. To ensure you know how much your paint repair is going to cost in advance, we ask that you upload photos before your appointment to allow this inspection to happen before the day.

SMART repairs are subjective. This means that you may occasionally see incorrect estimates based on the scale of repair your car needs or may have tried to book a cosmetic repair for damage that cannot be fixed using SMART techniques.

Promptly uploading images allows for a stress-free paint repair, which is why we ask you to do it as part of the initial booking request.

 

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

I don’t know what paint repair my car needs, what should I do?

If you’re unsure whether you need a SMART repair, paint local or panel respray, we make it easy for you to request the right booking with a local repairer. Just enter your reg and postcode into our booking tool and select your car’s damage to the best of your ability, using the guidance we have provided for reference.

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.

How do you calculate the estimates?

Every repairer listed on our comparison site provides us with hourly labour and material rates. These are entered into our pricing matrix along with number of hours each repair will take, based on the scale of the damage.

This means that your estimate is linked to the size of the paint repair your car needs rather than your vehicle type or engine size. This is why it’s imperative that you enter the damage details to the best of your ability.

Why are they only estimates instead of instant prices?

We provide estimates because the price can change once the repairer has had a chance to inspect the damage.

Cosmetic repairs are subjective, so a professional opinion is always needed to ensure your estimate is correct based on your car’s level of damage.

Your chosen repairer will confirm the actual cost of the repair once they have reviewed your uploaded images. This ensures there are no hidden surprises for either party and means you always get a stress-free paint repair.

Will the price of my appointment change once I request a booking?

The only reason the estimate you see will change is if you have selected the wrong repair, incorrectly entered your damage details or agree to additional work with your chosen repairer directly.

Every repairer on our platform sets and updates their own prices to ensure transparent comparison, to ensure what you see is what you pay more often than not.

Will the repair match the rest of my paintwork?

Yes, every repairer will complete a paint repair that matches your car’s paintwork exactly to ensure it’s finished to the highest standard.

Can I book other body repairs at the same time my paintwork is fixed?

If your car has multiple scratches, areas of paint damage or dented panels, you can get an instant estimate for all the repair work through our comparison site.

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.
