What do Car Scratch Repair services include?

Car scratch repair services include inspecting the scratch to determine the severity of the damage, determining what tools and materials to use, the cost of the work and the time needed to complete the task. To get the most out of your car scratch repair, note that car scratches are usually of two types: a light scratch that goes only as far as affecting the clear coat layer, or a deep scratch that reaches the paint or cuts into the bare metal. 

Repairing Light Scratches

Car scratch repair for light scratches can be quite simple and can be done in at most a couple of hours, depending on the severity of the scratch, and the time needed for the touch-up to dry. If the light scratch is small, using and applying a car scratch repair pen can be all that’s required to fix the problem. While that is an option, the usual manner by which Taskers could perform this service is by cleaning the problem spot, masking off unaffected areas close to the scratch, then applying a polishing compound with a microfiber cloth to polish off the scratch.

Repairing Deep Scratches

Deep scratches call for a more qualified service to fix. This type of scratch may have penetrated the base coat of your car’s paint job, or worse, reached and exposed the bare sheet metal of your car’s body. Don’t delay in having this kind of scratch repaired, as neglecting it can cause corrosion to set in and lead to larger, more expensive repairs to your car. Have a small batch of paint, such as a touch-up bottle of the exact same colour as your car is getting primed for these repairs.

When repairing deep scratches, Taskers will first do a thorough cleaning on the problem spot to remove any dirt, grease or oils. High-grit sandpaper will be used to sand off the paint on and around the scratch, but only until reaching the clear coat. If the scratch goes deeper, more sanding is done. After the sanding is completed, the area is rinsed with water and wiped dry with a non-abrasive microfibre cloth.

To prepare the area for repainting, your Tasker may mask off the unaffected areas close to the scratch. A thin layer of primer will be applied and left to dry. The scratch will likely be touched up by dabbing (not brushing) new paint on it with a toothpick or matchstick, then finally left to dry.

Need help fixing some scratches on the front and back bumper of our car. There is also a dent in the back. It doesn’t need to be certified but it should look seamless with being sanded and paint matched.

James did an amazing job with fixing our dent and scratches on our car. Can’t even tell there was a big dent and scratch there before. Would have been soo much more expensive if I went to a panel beater and he came to us! Communication was super easy, will definitely get him again if we need.

Minor paint touch-up required – Toyota Corolla I’m looking for someone experienced in automotive paint touch-ups / minor cosmetic repairs to tidy up a few superficial paint scratches on my Toyota Corolla. The damage is limited to two areas only: Rear bumper – there are a couple of superficial scratched/scuffed areas. Photos 1 and 2 show close-up views of this damage. I’ll admit I made a rather botched DIY attempt to cover one area with some paint, which unfortunately looks worse than the original damage ! 😄 Front left-hand side – there are a few superficial scratches/scuff marks around the front left guard/fender area, as shown in the other photos. There is no major dent or structural damage that I am looking to repair. The job is primarily about proper surface preparation, colour matching and paint/clear-coat touch-up, with the aim of making the affected areas look as close to the original finish as reasonably possible. IMPORTANT – please read before quoting Please don't just send me a price. When making an offer, I would like you to briefly explain how you intend to carry out the repair, based on the photos. For example, please mention whether your proposed process would involve: sanding/preparing the damaged areas removing or smoothing the existing failed DIY paint primer/filler if required colour-matched automotive paint blending the new paint into the surrounding original paint clear coat polishing/finishing appropriate curing/drying method (e.g. whether heat is required or not) — I just want to understand what I'm paying for and make sure the job isn't simply a quick spray-over. Please also let me know in if your offer whether: you would prefer me to bring the car to your workshop/home, or you are able to come to my premises in 3166 and carry out the work here. Photos are attached showing all the affected areas. color code is ID4. PS: Trying to upload more pics.

Repair small dog scratches on wooden door frame

$100

Caulfield North VIC 3161, Australia

29th Sep 2026

I need a handyman to repair a small section of a wooden door frame that was scratched/chewed by a dog. The damaged areas are small, approximately no more than 20 cm long and 10 cm wide. I would like the damaged timber to be filled/repaired, sanded smooth, primed and painted/touched up to match the existing colour as closely as possible. The door itself is working normally, so I only need a cosmetic repair to the damaged wooden frame. The job needs to be completed on the weekend of 3–4 October. The handyman must provide and bring all materials and tools required for the repair, including filler, primer and matching paint. Please see the attached photos for reference. Thank you!

I have some holes in the wall from putting in a push hook and the frame being to heaving so it created holes when it fell. There is also a bit of paint that came off from blue tack. I need the colours to match perfectly though.

Stephen was amazing! He took the time to make sure the job turned out great, including sealing up some holes and scratches in our wall. We’re so happy with the result and will definitely use him again. He was lovely to deal with and we would highly recommend him. Thanks so much, Stephen! 😊
