Repainting and spot repairs restore metal components to like-new condition. SMARTRESQ saves up to 85% of costs compared to replacement and completes jobs across Switzerland in 1–2 days.
Problems and Causes
Metal exposed to outdoor conditions is constantly under stress. Rain, snow, UV radiation, and salt attack the surfaces. Moisture penetrates even the smallest damages. Mechanical impacts such as collisions or vandalism also leave marks.
The result is scratches, dents, corrosion, peeling, and visible aging. Components appear neglected and lose protection and value. Often, replacement is considered too quickly, even when it is not necessary.
Solution: Surface Cosmetic Repair and Repainting
SMARTRESQ focuses on professional surface cosmetic repair. Metal components are repaired and repainted directly on-site. Spot repairs correct localized damage. A full repaint restores protection and appearance.
The process is carried out without dismantling. Surfaces then look like new. Long-term protection against corrosion is ensured.
Thanks to material expertise, powder coatings, anodized-like finishes, and special tones such as Seluxal can be reproduced very accurately. Even older anodized shades can be precisely matched. The repaired areas achieve the same adhesion, hardness, and weather resistance as the original coatings.
Fields of Application
The application ranges from mailboxes, doors, and garage gates to fences, façade elements, covers, and weather strips, as well as parapet cladding and metal flashings. The method is suitable for new construction, renovations, and existing buildings.
Particularly during construction phases or in the event of insurance claims, fast execution is an advantage. Owners and property managers save time, reduce costs, and avoid downtime.
Sustainability and Cost-Effectiveness
Repairing instead of replacing saves resources. There is no need for dismantling, transport, new procurement, or disposal. This significantly reduces CO₂ emissions and costs.
Client data shows that savings of 70–85% compared to new installations are realistic, project-specific, and verifiable.
A concrete example: A damaged gate system in a new building, with a replacement value of 12,000 CHF, was restored to like-new condition through spot repair and partial repainting for 3,000 CHF. In addition to the 9,000 CHF cost savings, the waiting time for replacement delivery was eliminated.
Sustainability also means using existing materials longer. This is both ecologically sensible and economically attractive.

Color adjustment up to powder coating and anodized finishes |
Time Advantage
Repairs are not only more cost-effective but also faster. A typical spot repair or repaint takes 1–2 days. A full replacement of the same components usually requires 2–3 weeks, as procurement, dismantling, and installation take time. This time savings is equally relevant for insurers, property managers, and owners.
Process
The process is simple:
→ Contact with a brief photo briefing
→ On-site inspection if needed
→ Quote with clear calculation
→ Execution on-site without dismantling
The work is carried out across Switzerland. Whether in Zurich, Bern, Basel, Lausanne, or St. Gallen, SMARTRESQ is ready to work on-site.
FAQ
How long does outdoor paint last?
It depends on weather conditions, location, and maintenance. With regular cleaning, a service life of many years is realistic.
Can old components be recoated?
Yes, even heavily aged metal parts can be repainted. A stable substrate is essential.
How precise is color matching?
Powder coatings and anodized finishes can be mixed very close to the original tone. Minor deviations on heavily aged surfaces are technically possible but almost imperceptible visually.
How often should a coated surface be cleaned?
Once or twice a year with a mild cleaning agent. Aggressive chemicals and high-pressure cleaning should be avoided.
What is the cost advantage?
Depending on the project, 70–85% savings compared to replacement. The reason is the elimination of dismantling, new procurement, transport, and installation.
Is there a warranty on repairs?
Yes. SMARTRESQ provides a warranty on the work performed. The repaired areas meet the same requirements for adhesion, hardness, and weather resistance as the original coating.
Limits and Counterpoints
Not every damage can be repaired. Load-bearing deformations, structural failures, or lack of adhesive substrates require replacement. Manufacturer warranties may also require complete replacement. In such cases, open and transparent advice is provided.
Trust and References
SMARTRESQ has been successfully working for property managers, insurance companies, and owners for years. Photo documentation, references and reviews on Trustpilot and Google confirm the quality. The team combines practical construction knowledge with material expertise in coatings.
