Dent, Scratch & Scuff Repair in Fairford & Cirencester

Those little marks niggle every time you walk up to the car. We tidy them up properly, at a price that makes sense for the size of the job.

Dent, Scratch & Scuff Repair in Fairford & Cirencester at OH Works in Fairford

Trolley dings, kerbed bumpers, a key mark down the door, a scuff from a tight gateway. None of it stops the car driving, but it all chips away at how the car looks and feels. Bring it to our workshop in Fairford and we will sort the bits that bug you, neatly and without a big bill.

The everyday damage we tidy up

These are the jobs we do day in, day out:

  • Parking dents and door dings from car parks
  • Kerbed and scraped bumpers
  • Scratches and key marks in the paint
  • Scuffs on wing mirrors, sills and arches
  • Small creases and pushed-in panels

If the mark is deeper than it looks or the panel has taken a proper knock, we will be straight with you and point you towards bumper repair or full accident and collision repair instead.

How we go about it

First we have a proper look. Some dents lift out without any paint at all, which keeps things quick and cheap. Where the paint is chipped or scratched through, we prep the area, fill if needed, then colour match and blend so the repair disappears into the panel around it. You can read more about how we handle colour on our paintwork and respray page.

We keep most of this work local to the panel rather than spraying the whole car, so you pay for the repair and not a load of extra work you do not need.

Stops it spreading too

A scratch is not just a cosmetic thing. Once the paint is broken, water gets in and rust can start, especially over a winter. Catching it early is cheaper than letting it turn into something bigger. The same goes for chips in the paint, which we cover on our stone chip repair page.

Honest prices, no guesswork

Small repairs should feel small to pay for, and that is how we quote them. Send a few photos by phone or drop in for a free look over, and we will give you a clear price with nothing hidden. If a job is genuinely tiny, we will say so.

You do not have to go where your insurer suggests if a repair is part of a claim, by the way. The choice of repairer is yours, and there is more on that on our choose your own repairer page.

We look after drivers across Cirencester, Fairford, Lechlade-on-Thames and over towards Swindon. Give us a ring on 01285 238 153 and we will get your car looking right again.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to fix a small dent or scratch?
It depends on how big the mark is and where it sits, but small jobs are far cheaper than people expect. Send us a couple of photos or pop in, and we will give you a firm price before you commit to anything.
Can you repair a scuff without respraying the whole panel?
Usually, yes. For most scuffs and scratches we localise the repair and blend the paint into the surrounding area, so we only refinish the part that needs it. That keeps the cost down and saves time.
Will the repaired area match my car colour?
It will. We read your paint code and mix the colour to suit, including metallics and pearls, then blend it in so the fixed spot sits right next to the original paint.
How long does a dent or scratch repair take?
Many small repairs are done within a day. A scratch that needs paint usually needs a little drying and curing time, so we will give you a realistic turnaround when we quote.
Do you offer paintless dent removal?
Where the paint is undamaged and the dent is the right shape, we can often massage it out without any filling or painting at all. If the paint has cracked, a filled and refinished repair is the better route, and we will tell you which suits your dent.
Can small repairs be done while I wait?
Some of the quickest jobs can be turned around the same visit, though anything that needs paint to cure is better left with us for the day. We will let you know which when you book in.
