What is Smart Repair?
A SMART repair (Small to Medium Area Repair Technique) is a professional method used to fix minor car damage like bumper scuffs, scratches, and dents. It’s a fast, cost-effective solution that doesn’t require full panel resprays — ideal for restoring paintwork damage on cars in Surrey, Hampshire, and nearby areas.
Do You Remove Small Dents?
Yes — we can repair small dents using traditional SMART repair techniques, which may involve light filling and repainting. However, we do not offer paintless dent removal (PDR) ourselves.
If your dent is suitable for PDR — a technique that removes dents without affecting the paintwork — we work closely with trusted PDR specialists and can coordinate the repair on your behalf. Our goal is to ensure your vehicle receives the best repair solution, whether it’s through us or our professional network.
Where Will The Repair Be Carried Out?
TECHNICOLOUR will travel to you to repair your vehicle. Our technician will come to your home or workplace, they just need access to off-road parking and a power source.
How much does a SMART repair cost in Surrey or Hampshire?
SMART repair costs depend on factors like damage size, depth, location, and paint colour. At Technicolour Smart Repair, every quote is tailored. Our mobile car body repair service is often cheaper than body shops and always includes a free, no-obligation quote.
Will the damage still be visible?
No — once your vehicle has been professionally repaired, the damage should no longer be visible. At Technicolour Smart Repair, we use advanced SMART repair techniques and precise colour-matching to ensure a seamless finish. Our goal is to make your car look as good as new, whether we’re repairing a bumper scuff, paint scratch, or minor dent.
Will the paint match my original colour?
Absolutely. We use professional colour-matching systems and top-quality automotive paint to ensure a seamless blend. Your car scratch repair will look like it never happened.
How Do I Look After The Repair?
Yes — once our technician completes the SMART repair, your vehicle is ready to drive straight away. There’s no downtime or waiting period required for general use.
However, we strongly recommend avoiding washing the repaired area for at least 3–4 days. This gives the paint time to fully cure and ensures the best long-term finish.
For the first few weeks:
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, automatic car washes, and harsh chemicals
- Use only pH-neutral car shampoo if you must wash your vehicle
- Avoid waxing or polishing the repaired area until it’s fully hardened
Following these simple steps helps maintain the professional finish and extends the life of your scratch, dent, or bumper repair.
