A scratch can be a small thing that bothers you every time you walk up to the car, or a deep gouge that lets water reach bare metal. Either way, a good car scratch repair should leave nothing to see or feel. At Nova Accident Repair we look at how deep the scratch goes, then choose the right repair: polishing for light marks in the clear coat, or a full paint repair for scratches that have gone through the colour.
All our car paint repair work is matched to your manufacturer’s paint code and blended into the surrounding panel. That’s what stops a repaired area showing up as a slightly different shade in daylight, which is the most common problem with cheap scratch repairs.

Fine scratches and scuffs in the clear coat, from car washes, bags or brushing past hedges.
Scratches through the colour to the primer or bare metal, which need filling and painting.
Key scratches along doors, wings and bonnets, often across several panels.
Chips on the bonnet, bumper and door edges, sealed before they rust.
Scrapes on plastic bumper corners from parking posts, kerbs and walls.
Long scrapes from a wall, gate or another car, repaired panel by panel.
We clean the area and check how deep the scratch goes. If your fingernail catches in it, it has usually gone past the clear coat.
Light scratches are polished out. Deeper ones are sanded, filled where needed and primed so the surface is perfectly flat.
We mix paint to your car’s paint code, apply the colour coat and finish it with clear lacquer for protection and gloss.
The new paint is blended into the panel and polished, so the repair sits in with the original finish in any light.
The cost of fixing a scratch on a car depends on four things. Send photos through the quote form and we’ll give you an accurate car scratch repair quote, confirmed in writing after a free inspection and before any work starts.
A clear-coat mark can often be polished. A scratch through to primer or metal needs filling and painting.
A scratch across two doors and a wing means painting and blending each panel.
Metallic, pearl and three-coat colours need more careful blending to match.
Plastic bumper scratches are prepared differently from metal door and bonnet panels.

Straight answers about scratch repair costs, deep scratches, key scratches and paint matching.
It depends on how deep the scratch is, how many panels it crosses and your car’s paint finish. A light surface scratch on one panel costs far less than a deep key scratch along both doors.

Yes. A deep scratch that has gone through the clear coat and colour to the primer or bare metal is filled, sanded flat, painted to your car’s paint code, lacquered and blended into the panel, so it can’t be seen or felt afterwards.
Light surface scratches that sit only in the clear coat can often be polished out without any paint. If your fingernail catches in the scratch, it is usually too deep to polish and needs a paint repair.
A scratch that reaches bare metal can start to rust, especially on steel panels in wet weather. Getting deep scratches and stone chips repaired early stops rust spreading under the paint and keeps the repair smaller.
Yes. Key scratches usually run across several panels and often go through to the primer. We repair and repaint each affected panel and blend the colour so the side of the car looks even.
Yes. We repair stone chips on bonnets, bumpers and door edges by cleaning out the chip, filling it and painting it to match, which also seals the metal against rust.
We use your car’s manufacturer paint code and blend the new paint into the surrounding area, so the repair matches the original finish, including metallic and pearl colours.
Small scratch and chip repairs are much quicker than repairs that cover several panels. We give you a time estimate with your quote so you can plan around it.
Often it is not worth it, because the repair cost may be close to your excess and a claim can affect your no-claims bonus. Ask us for a private quote first so you can compare before you decide.
