This service is set up specifically to deal with paint spilled in cars. Removing paint from carpet and seats, quickly and efficiently, so a crisis doesn't turn into a disaster.
Talk to us Talk to usEvery spring we get calls from people asking, 'how do you remove spilled paint from carpets' or 'Can you help, a whole tin of paint went over in my boot'. So we set up this emergency service especially to cope with extracting wet paint.
In virtually all cases, the sooner we can get to the spillage, the cheaper it will be. In the case of paint, it is much easier for us to remove before it dries hard. If you have a spillage of any kind, we recommend you call us right away for advice, and don't try to clean up yourself, as this can sometimes make the problem worse.
The only thing to remember is that these problems are almost always easier (and cheaper) for us to deal with if we can get to them quickly. We treat paint spill accidents as a priority and will try and fit you in as soon as possible.
This package gives you three hours of labour with machinery and material costs included.
As long as the paint is still wet when the car arrives here, we can clean up around 50% of paint spillages for £300. If however, your car is more troublesome, and will require more work, at the end of the three hours we will have stabilized the situation, meaning it will cost less in the long run. At this point, we'll provide a video report with an estimate, so you can decide if the cost will fall within your excess or if you want to involve the insurance company.

One of the bigger paint spillage jobs we've taken on was a Range Rover Velar that came in after vandalism -- someone had covered the entire car in what turned out to be an epoxy-based paint that had fully cured by the time it reached us. Tom and Paul spent days softening and jetting it off section by section; roof rails, mirror casing and bonnet vent strips had to be replaced where cleaning time would have exceeded the cost of new parts. The car left without a speck on it. The point being: even the worst-case scenario is usually recoverable -- but speed matters. ~ Danny
After 10ltrs of paint spilt in my 4 month old car I was devastated. Emailed New Again over night and a reply 8am following morning. 3 young guys worked on car for almost 3 hours and WOW... what an amazing job they done. I can't say how much these guys are a credit to this business - professional & polite at all times. I drove all the way back to East London with a smile on my face.
We treat a paint spill as an emergency, not a booking.
Call as soon as it happens. The sooner we see it, the more of it we save.

Absolutely fantastic service! After spilling 5ltrs of weatherproof gloss all over the interior of my car, my car was returned to me without a single trace of paint anywhere to be seen. Very friendly people, would definitely recommend.
This place is unbelievable. Found them through Google and they made my day after I had spilt 5 litres of outdoor paint in my boot. Big shout out to Connor and his boss Gary.
I had ten litres of white emulsion paint spill into the rear passenger area of our Lexus. Gary was extremely helpful on the phone even though we weren’t committed to using his services. His team cleaned every area the spillage had found, the resultant finished job was outstanding.
Would highly recommend! Had the car 3 weeks and was very stressed it would be an insurance job! Went above and beyond to sort all aspects of the incident!
They were clear and honest about how they would work, how much it could cost and what the range of results I can expect would be. Thoroughly satisfied and relieved customer here! Thank you New Again!
We recommend calling your insurance company, telling them what's happened, and what you intend to do. If things start to get expensive, then you can make a claim, but there is no point in claiming unless the cost is going to exceed your excess.
If the paint can't be cleaned off, then the parts will need to be replaced, which is what your insurance company would usually do through their body shop. However, we can try to remove it, and if we can, we might be able to save you some money on replacement parts, which is worth considering if you don't want to make a claim.
Spirit-based paints are much more difficult to do, thankfully they are rarer these days. But we can still do something, we have cleaned them up. It requires a lot of solvent to remove them, and then we may need to treat the car to get rid of the smell of paint solvents.
Read our article giving advice on what to do in case of a paint spill, keep the paint damp, and try to find a trustworthy detailer or valeter in your area who has an extraction machine. It is easier to make paint spills worse by trying to wash out the paint with a hosepipe or pressure washer. If you are going to attempt this, make sure paint covered items are first removed from the car.
If paint has been splattered on the outside of your car, overspray from somebody painting a fence or something nearby, we also have a service for that. Please see our contamination removal page, or our article, How to get paint off a car.
