Why Bring It To Us
A Proper Repair Beats a Scratch Pen
Scratch pens and rub-out compounds can dull a light mark for a while. They do not blend colour properly, and they do not touch anything that’s gone past the clear coat.
| Scratch Pen / DIY Kit | Dunshaughlin Workshop |
|---|---|
| Colour rarely matches properly | Colour-matched touch-up where needed |
| Doesn't fix deeper scratches | Handles scratches into primer or metal |
| No fix for kerbed or scuffed alloys | Alloy scratch & kerb rash repair |
| Mark often still visible up close | The repair is blended smoothly so you won't spot where the damage was. |
How Much Does Car Scratch Repair Cost?
There is no single price for scratch removal; it depends on the scratch. Here is what actually changes the cost:
Scratch Depth
A light mark in the clear coat costs less to fix than one that's gone through to primer or bare metal.
Paint vs. Alloy
Alloy scratch repair and kerb rash involve different tools and steps than paintwork scratch removal.
Size & Colour Match
Multiple scratches, or a colour that needs mixing to match, both add time and cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to remove a scratch from a car in Ireland?
Prices depend on the depth, number of scratches, and colour matching needed. Send us a photo on WhatsApp for a straight quote before you book.
Do you repair alloy wheel scratches as well as paint scratches?
Yes. The repair of alloy wheel scratches, including kerb rash and scuffed wheels, is a different procedure than removing paint scratch marks, which we do at our Dunshaughlin facility.
Do you offer mobile car scratch removal in Dublin?
We operate out of our well-equipped garage at Dunshaughlin as opposed to offering a mobile service because adequate lighting and dust-free environments are conducive for repairs. This has proven to be equally convenient for many drivers in Dublin along the M3/N3 route.
Can all scratches be removed completely?
The scratches from the clear coat or light base coat can be repaired or made almost invisible. The deeper ones that penetrate the primer or even bare metal will require paint touch-up rather than just polishing.
How long does scratch removal take?
A single light scratch typically takes under an hour. Alloy scratch repair or deeper paint scratches with colour matching usually take two to four hours.
