Bumper scrape fixed in your driveway

What a bumper scuff repair actually is

A bumper scuff is usually cosmetic damage to a plastic bumper: paint rubbed through, a scrape from a pillar, trolley, or tight park. The bumper is still attached. The car still drives. You’re looking at finish work, not a write-off.

That’s different from cracks, holes, broken mounts, or damage that goes into the structure behind the bumper. Those jobs belong in a different kind of workshop. Kerbside Panel Co does cosmetic work. If the photos (or the job on site) show it’s beyond that, JJ will tell you straight and point you somewhere that can do it properly.

What Kerbside Panel Co does on site

On a typical driveway bumper scuff:

• Assess the scrape against your photos and the live panel
• Prep the damaged area
• Fill where needed
• Colour-match the paint
• Respray the damaged area and blend so it sits with the rest of the bumper

Work happens where the car is — driveway, street, or work car park. No courtesy car. No multi-day drop-off for a cosmetic graze.

You’re not booking a franchise touch-up van that “sort of” matches. You’re booking a qualified panel beater who does cosmetic refinish for a living.

How the photo quote works

1. Send two photos — one close up of the scuff, one from a few steps back.
2. Add make, model, colour, and suburb.
3. JJ sends back a fixed price (usually the same day). That’s the price before travel.

Indicative pack ranges (labelled indicative — final figure is your photo quote):

• Small $380 fixed
• Medium $480–$650
• Large $550–$1000

A light scuff that buffs or needs a simple blend often sits differently to a bumper that needs a fuller respray. Metallic and pearl finishes are a different job to flat white — that’s why there’s a range, and why the quote comes from your photos.

No travel charge within 25km. Further out — still ask; JJ will say if it’s worth your money.

Time and where we come

Most bumper scuff jobs take 1–3 hours on site once work starts.

Coverage:

• Eastern Suburbs — Randwick, Maroubra, Bondi, Coogee, Kensington
• Sutherland Shire — Sutherland, Cronulla, Miranda, Menai, Alfords Point
• St George — Hurstville, Kogarah, Rockdale, Bexley, Sans Souci
• Inner West — Marrickville, Newtown, Ashfield, Leichhardt

Based between Randwick and Alfords Point — Shire jobs (including Menai and Alfords Point) are a natural run, not a special favour.

When we won’t do it

Cosmetic only. Kerbside Panel Co will not:

• Pretend a cracked or broken bumper mount is a “scuff”
• Quote mechanical or structural panel replacement as driveway paint work
• Keep your car for days on a job that needs a full strip and shop environment

If it’s the wrong job for mobile cosmetic repair, you hear that before money changes hands for work that shouldn’t start.
