6 Bodywork Fixes That Pay for Themselves

When you're selling, some repairs genuinely add more than they cost. Here are the ones worth doing before the car goes on the market.

Mini respray β€” preparation and masking stage

1. Scuffed bumpers

The first thing buyers notice, and cheap to put right. A tidy bumper says 'cared for'.

2. Door dents and dings

Trolley and car-park dents make a car look neglected. Removing them lifts the whole impression.

3. Scratches through the paint

Deeper scratches invite hagglers. Refinishing them removes the excuse to knock the price.

4. Kerbed edges and panels

Kerb rash on lower panels is common and easily tidied.

5. Faded or peeling patches

Even localised fade or lacquer peel drags a car's look β€” and price β€” down.

6. A proper clean-up of it all

Do a few of these together and the car photographs and shows far better. Bring it to us before you list it and we'll advise what pays for itself.
