Scratches on your car’s paintwork can happen anywhere — from supermarket car parks in Spalding, to narrow streets in Boston, to country lanes around Holbeach. No matter how careful you are, minor paint damage is almost inevitable. In this post, we’ll look at why paintwork scratch repairs matter, the types of scratches you might encounter, and the best way to restore your vehicle’s finish.



Why Repair Scratches Quickly?

  • Prevent rust – Deeper scratches can expose bare metal or primer.

  • Improve appearance – A flawless finish makes your car look newer.

  • Maintain value – Especially important for lease vehicles or when selling.



Types of Paintwork Scratches

1. Clear Coat Scratches

  • Light marks affecting only the clear protective layer.

  • Can often be polished out with the right tools.


2. Paint Layer Scratches

  • Cuts into the colour layer of paint.

  • Requires repainting and blending for an invisible repair.


3. Primer/Metal Scratches

  • Deep scratches exposing primer or bare metal.

  • Must be repaired quickly to avoid corrosion.

A 5 Star Review from Andy M. in Lincolnshire.


"Scratched my front OSF wing parking car in the garage, the scratch had gone right down to the base coat, I had a quote from a body repair shop to respray the scratch and blend the bumper. Ended up getting a quote from these guys for half of the original quote. Dropped the car off at 9am and collected at 4pm after work, the job was fantastic perfect colour match, you couldn’t tell that it had ever been damaged. Highly recommend!!!"
