DB Most modern car bumpers are made from plastic composites rather than metal, which changes how they're typically damaged and repaired.
Types of plastic bumper damage that can often be repaired
- Scratches and surface scuffs
- Minor dents where the material hasn't cracked
- Small cracks and splits in a limited area
- Cosmetic parking and low-speed impact damage
How plastic bumper repair generally works
Plastic repair techniques used by professional body shops can involve cleaning and preparing the damaged area, reinforcing or filling cracks, reshaping where needed, and then colour matching and refinishing to blend with the rest of the bumper.
When replacement makes more sense
More extensive cracking, damage near mounting points, or damage combined with impact to surrounding panels may mean replacement is the more practical option.
DB Autos can assess your plastic bumper damage and advise on the appropriate repair. Call 01782 844320 or bring your vehicle in.
