How Deep Is Your Scratch?
The repair method and the price both depend on how deep the scratch actually goes. Here is how to tell.
Lightest
Clear Coat Scratch
You cannot feel it with a fingernail.
Sits in the top lacquer layer only. Often fixed by flatting and polishing, with no repainting needed.
Typical examples
- Light swirl marks
- Car wash scratches
- Faint surface marks
From £80 · Same day
Mid-depth
Base Coat Scratch
You can feel a groove with your fingernail.
Cuts through the colour layer. Needs colour matched paint and a clear coat to finish.
Typical examples
- Key scratches
- Car park scrapes
- Everyday scratches
From £150 · Same day
Deepest
Deep or Primer Scratch
White, grey or bare metal visible underneath.
Goes down to the primer or bare metal. Left untreated, this is where rust starts. Needs filling, priming, colour matching and a full respray of the affected panel.
Typical examples
- Deep gouges
- Scratches with visible metal
- Large impact marks
From £250 · 1 day
How we decide
Send us a photo and run your fingernail across the scratch. That single test tells us most of what we need before you even bring the car in.
How We Repair Your Scratch
Whichever depth of scratch you have, the process follows the same four stages.
Assess the Depth
We check whether the scratch sits in the clear coat, the base coat, or down to the metal, and confirm the right repair method.

Car Scratch Repair FAQs
Everything you need to know about scratch repair at our Rochdale workshop.
Very light clear coat scratches can sometimes be improved with a home polish kit, but results vary and a poor attempt can make the repair harder later. Anything you can feel with a fingernail has gone through the paint and needs a proper colour matched repair. Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly which category yours falls into.
Run your fingernail across it. If you cannot feel a groove, it is likely a clear coat scratch. If you can feel it, or you can see a different colour underneath such as white primer or bare metal, it needs a full colour matched repair.
Light clear coat scratches start from around £80. Base coat scratches needing colour matched paint typically start from £150. Deeper scratches needing filler and a full respray start from £250. Send a photo on WhatsApp for an exact price.
Most clear coat and base coat scratches are completed the same day. Deeper scratches needing a full respray of the panel usually take 1 to 2 days.
Yes. We use computerised colour matching to your exact manufacturer paint code and blend the edges carefully so the repair is invisible, even on older vehicles where the original colour has faded slightly.
We do not repair scratches on your driveway. Every scratch repair is carried out inside our enclosed workshop in Whitworth, which gives a dust-free, contamination-free finish that a mobile van cannot match. If you cannot get your car to us, we offer free collection and delivery instead, so you still get a proper workshop repair without the inconvenience.
