Bumper repair in London? - Gazza
The front bumper near-side corner has scrapped against a brick wall and the scratch is down to primer/bumper. The size is 4x4 inches. I called Chipaway local operator in Lewisham and he quoted £106 including VAT. I thought it was expensive as I recall you could have it done for around £70. The questions are

1) Is the Lewisham branch (John Hardon) any good as I know quality varies?
2) Can you get it done for less around the East End London?

Many thanks,
Gazza

I have to say that £106 for a lump of damage of that size seems pretty reasonable to me.

Very much depends on the operator.

I was due to have mine done last week by Chipsaway for £200 (for all four corners) but the guy didn't turn up and when I called his mobile he's away until the 7th September(A body shop quoted £450 for cash).

Called Chipsaway and asked for another operator, guy quoted me £150 for the same job. He's due this friday.

I have used them before and have been very pleased with the work.
