Smart Repair in Public Transport

25. August 2025

Efficient repair of glass, surfaces, and interior components in buses, trams, and trains: SMARTRESQ repairs damage to glass, surfaces, and interior components in buses, trams, and trains. Fast, sustainable, and without lengthy downtime, we ensure that public transport vehicles remain well-maintained and ready for service.

Preserving Value Starts with Fast Repairs

Public transport vehicles are in operation every day. Damage to glass surfaces, plastic parts, or interior panels is inevitable. Whether caused by collisions, vandalism, or heavy use, each damage reduces vehicle quality and increases long-term maintenance costs.

SMARTRESQ offers a targeted solution. With Smart Repair, we fix glass, surfaces, and interior components directly on site – efficiently, sustainably, and cost-effectively. Instead of costly replacements, we preserve the original material. No disassembly, no long downtime.

We Repair These Damages for You

 

1. Glass Scratches and Damage in Public Transport

We remove scratches and vandalism damage on all types of glass surfaces. This includes:

  • Vehicle windows (including curved or insulated glass)

  • Tram doors and windows

  • Glass elements in shelters and platform roofs

Thanks to gentle grinding and polishing techniques, transparency and safety are preserved. The treatment is tailored to the material, including tempered glass, laminated glass, insulated glass, and safety glass.

Typical damage:

  • Scratches from passenger contact or cleaning

  • Scratching caused by vandalism

  • Hydrofluoric acid damage on windows

2. Paint Damage and Surface Restoration

In entry areas or on interior panels, paint and color defects are particularly noticeable. We repair:

  • Paint abrasions on door profiles and wall panels

  • Paint chips on handrails, columns, or panels

  • Worn plastic interior components

Our repairs are carried out on-site, without disassembly, with precise color matching to the original surface. This saves materials and reduces downtime.

3. Refreshing the Interior Instead of Replacing

Many components inside the vehicle are mechanically intact but visually damaged. Instead of replacing them, we offer professional refurbishment of:

  • Luggage racks and overhead shelves

  • Side panels and covers

  • Seat shells, tables, or consoles

  • Handrails and trim

We remove scratches, stains, adhesive residues, and discoloration. The refurbishment is carried out using environmentally friendly materials and ensures a clean appearance – even in older vehicles.
