Scratch & Dent Repair
At Scratch Heroes, we specialise in scratch and dent repair in Wimborne, covering everything from light scuffs and lacquer peel to larger dents and panel damage. Our repair-first approach means we focus on restoring your vehicle rather than replacing parts, helping to keep it original and cost-effective. Using trusted techniques and advanced paint-matching systems, we ensure every repair blends seamlessly with your car’s finish, leaving results that are built to last.
Bumper Repair
Bumper damage is one of the most common damages cars face, whether from a car park knock or low-speed scrape. At Scratch Heroes, we specialise in bumper repairs in Wimborne, restoring scuffs, scratches and damaged bumpers with precision. Using our PPG paint-matching technology, we achieve seamless colour blending for a factory-fresh finish.
Smart Repairs
SMART repair (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) allows us to fix smaller areas of damage without respraying entire panels. While not suitable for every repair, it can be an effective option for light scuffs and scratches. At Scratch Heroes, we’ll always recommend the best approach for your car, whether that’s a SMART repair or a full panel refinishing, ensuring the result is both durable and visually flawless.
Insurance Repairs
We’re able to complete insurance-approved repairs where required and will guide you through the process if you choose this route. However, insurance claims can sometimes involve excess payments, added paperwork and potential delays. For this reason, many customers find that private repairs are quicker and more straightforward. At Scratch Heroes, we’re always happy to advise whether an insurance claim or private repair is the better option for your situation, and whichever route you take, the standard of work remains the same.
Private Vehicle Repairs
A large number of our customers prefer to cover repairs privately, as it often avoids the hassle of insurance claims and, in many cases, works out more cost-effective. Choosing a private repair means you can get your car booked in quickly and back on the road sooner, without the worry of premiums being affected. At Scratch Heroes in Wimborne, the process is simple: send us photos of the damage or visit our workshop for a free estimate, and we’ll take care of the rest.

FAQS | Car Body Repairs in Wimborne, Dorset
Here you’ll find answers to some of the most common questions about our Wimborne car body shop, from how scratches, dents and bumper scuffs are repaired to what SMART repair involves, and when insurance or private repairs might be the best option.
What does a car bodyshop do?
A car body shop is a specialist workshop where cosmetic and panel damage to vehicles is repaired. This includes scratches, dents, scuffs, paintwork problems and minor accident damage. Unlike a mechanic, who focuses on engines and servicing, a body shop restores the appearance and finish of your car. At Scratch Heroes in Wimborne, we concentrate on cosmetic body repairs such as paint correction, bumper scuff removal, lacquer peel and dent repairs. Because all work is carried out in our dedicated workshop, we can control the environment, keeping it free from dust, rain and other contaminants. This allows us to deliver a factory-quality finish that mobile repairers cannot match, so your vehicle looks great and stays protected.
What car body repairs do you offer in Wimborne?
At Scratch Heroes, we provide a wide range of car body repairs in Wimborne. Our most popular services include scratch repair, dent removal, bumper scuff repair and lacquer peel correction. We also carry out resprays when necessary to restore panels back to a like-new condition.
Our ethos is always to repair first, meaning we aim to restore your car’s originality rather than replacing parts unnecessarily. This keeps costs under control, reduces waste and preserves your vehicle’s factory finish. Whether you need a small cosmetic touch-up or a more detailed repair, our Wimborne body shop is fully equipped with the latest tools, high-quality paint systems and skilled technicians to deliver results you can trust.
How do you repair scratches on cars?
The way we carry out a scratch repair depends on the depth of the damage. Light scratches that only affect the clear coat can often be polished out using specialist compounds and refinishing techniques. Deeper scratches that cut into the paint or base coat require sanding, filling if needed, and repainting. At Scratch Heroes, we use PPG spectro paint-matching technology, which scans your car’s paint and produces an exact colour formula. Once the area is prepared, we apply primer, colour coat and clear coat, blending it carefully into the surrounding paintwork. The repaired area is then polished to a high gloss, leaving a finish that is seamless, durable and built to last.
How do you repair dents in cars?
For dent repairs, the method depends on the size and location of the damage. Small dents caused by door knocks or shopping trolleys can often be pulled out or reshaped using specialist tools. Deeper dents may require filling, sanding and refinishing with new paint. In some cases, Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) may be suitable if the paint surface is still intact, which we arrange through a trusted specialist. At Scratch Heroes, we focus on delivering strong, lasting repairs that restore both the shape and look of your panels. Every dent repair in our Wimborne workshop is completed with care, and all our work is backed by a 12-month guarantee.
How do you repair bumper scuffs?
Bumper scuff repairs usually involve sanding back the damaged area, filling if required, and then refinishing with primer, colour coat and clear coat. With our PPG paint systems, we can achieve an exact colour match, even on older or faded cars. This ensures the new paint blends seamlessly with the rest of the bumper so the repair is invisible. Unlike mobile repair services, all our work is carried out in a clean, controlled workshop environment, which avoids problems such as dust or moisture affecting the finish. At Scratch Heroes, bumper scuff repair is one of our most common services, and we take pride in providing results that look factory fresh and are built to last.
What is SMART repair?
SMART repair stands for Small to Medium Area Repair Technology. It is a method of repairing localised damage such as small scratches, scuffs or minor dents without needing to repaint the entire panel. This can be a quicker and more efficient way to deal with some cosmetic issues. However, SMART repair is not suitable for every job. If the damage is larger or deeper, a traditional repair and full refinishing will be needed to ensure a durable, high-quality result. At Scratch Heroes, we always advise whether SMART repair is appropriate for your vehicle, or whether another method is better. Our priority is to provide a repair that lasts and restores your car’s appearance to the highest standard.
Do you carry out car insurance repairs?
Yes, we can complete insurance repairs at Scratch Heroes. If you choose to go through your insurance, we can provide an estimate, handle the necessary paperwork and carry out the work to the same high standard as all our services. However, many customers prefer to pay privately. Insurance claims often involve excess payments, extra paperwork and delays, and in some cases the cost of repair is close to, or even less than, the excess. We will always give you honest advice on whether an insurance claim or a private repair is the most practical option for your circumstances.
Do you guarantee your car body repairs?
Yes, all repairs at Scratch Heroes come with a 12-month guarantee. We are confident in the quality of our work because we use professional repair methods, trusted paint systems and complete every job in a clean, controlled workshop environment. This ensures your repair will not only look great when you collect your car, but will also last over time. Our guarantee covers the workmanship of the repair, giving you peace of mind that your car body repair has been completed to a professional standard.
What makes Scratch Heroes different from other body shops?
One of the key differences is our background. Scratch Heroes was created by the team behind GleamPro, a car detailing business known for its focus on paintwork and finishing quality. This detailing experience means we approach every repair with an extra level of care and precision, ensuring the finish is flawless. While many body shops focus only on function, we also prioritise the appearance of the repair, blending our detailing knowledge with professional repair techniques to achieve results that stand out and make the damage look like it never happened.

All repairs are carried out in our dedicated workshop, where we can control the conditions to achieve consistent results. We do not work from roadside tents or vans, so every repair benefits from the right tools and environment.
