Bumper Repair Prices in Rochdale

Car Body Shop prices bumper repair across five fixed bands, based on the type and extent of damage. The table below sets out each band with its starting price and typical turnaround.

Damage type	Starting price	Turnaround
Light scuff or scrape	£150	Same day
Scratch, colour matched	£200	Same day
Crack or split repair	£250	1 day
Dent, pulled and painted	£200	1 day
Multiple areas or full bumper	£350	1 to 2 days

Light scuffs and single scratches are same-day jobs. Cracked, split or multi-area bumper damage adds one to two days for plastic repair and colour matching.

What Changes the Price of Bumper Repair

Three factors set the final price for bumper repair: the type of damage, how much of the bumper needs repainting, and whether the repair needs a full colour match. A light scuff with no paint damage costs £150, since it needs polishing rather than repainting. A scratch that has cut through the clear coat costs £200, since the panel needs colour matching to your exact manufacturer paint code. A crack or split in the plastic costs £250, since the bumper needs structural plastic repair before any paint is applied. Multiple areas of damage, or damage across the full width of the bumper, cost £350, since the whole bumper needs stripping, repairing and repainting as one panel.

Repair or Replace a Cracked Bumper?

Car Body Shop repairs the majority of cracked and split bumpers using flexible plastic repair material rather than fitting a full replacement. This restores the bumper's shape and strength without a new part, and costs less than a replacement bumper, since a new bumper needs painting from scratch plus fitting and aligning to the car's other panels. Replacement becomes necessary only if the bumper's mounting points or supporting structure are damaged beyond repair, which is uncommon in scuffs, scratches and most cracks.

Bumper Repair Cost vs an Insurance Claim

A cash bumper repair price of £150 to £350 is usually well within a typical UK insurance excess. Paying directly for bumper repair avoids the excess payment itself and keeps a fault claim off your insurance record, which can raise your premium at renewal. Car Body Shop gives a fixed cash price before any work starts, so the cost of repair is confirmed in advance and never billed through an insurer.

Paintless Dent Removal for Bumper Dents

A dent in a bumper with unbroken paint qualifies for paintless dent removal (PDR) rather than a full repaint. Paintless dent removal in Rochdale pushes the dent back into shape from behind the panel, without filling, sanding or spraying, and finishes the same day in most cases. A dent with cracked or missing paint does not qualify for PDR and needs the £200 dent, pulled and painted repair band instead.

How Long Does Bumper Repair Take?

Bumper repair at Car Body Shop takes between the same day and two days, depending on the damage. Light scuffs, single scratches and PDR dents finish the same day in most cases. Crack, split and multiple-area repairs take one to two days, since the plastic needs repairing and curing before paint is applied. Bumper repair in Rochdale confirms your exact turnaround from photos before you book the car in.
