Expected outcome

A measured improvement, explained clearly.

A significant improvement in clarity where the paint allows. Not all defects can or should be removed; isolated deep damage may need a different repair.

From £500 following photographic or physical assessment. Complexity, paint hardness, defect level and protection affect the quote.

The process

Assessment before assumption

  1. 01

    Send the details

    Vehicle make, model, postcode, condition, concerns and useful photographs.

  2. 02

    Receive a recommendation

    The service and realistic expected result are matched to the vehicle.

  3. 03

    Confirm access and price

    Good photographs are useful, but some vehicles require in-person inspection. Safe covered space may be necessary for multi-day work.

  4. 04

    Complete and maintain

    Careful washing is essential after correction. The selected protection and maintenance routine are explained at handover.

Questions

About paint correction

Is paint correction the same as polishing?

Correction is a polishing process, but it normally involves more assessment, defect reduction and refinement than a lighter enhancement.

Can every scratch be removed?

No. Deep defects may extend too far into the paint system to remove safely. Preservation takes priority.

Why is an assessment needed?

Paint type, prior repairs, defect depth and the desired result all affect the safe process and time required.
