What it covers
From car park knocks to front-end damage
Accident damage is rarely one dent. A knock to the front can push the bumper, wing and bonnet out of line at the same time, and a rear-end shunt often marks the boot lid and rear quarter as well as the bumper. We look at the whole area, not just the part that caught your eye, and price the repair properly from your photos.
Front-end damage
Bumpers, wings and bonnets pushed out of shape, straightened back to the original line.
Rear-end damage
Bumpers, boot lids and rear quarters repaired after a shunt or a reversing knock.
Panel replacement
Where a panel is past saving, it is replaced and painted to match the rest of the car.
Dents and creases
Drawn out with a stud welder and reshaped before any filler goes near them. See dent & panel repair.
Bumper repair
Scuffs, cracks and splits repaired and refinished rather than replaced where the part allows.
Finished in paint that matches
Every repair is painted in colour mixed to your vehicle’s own code and blended into the panels around it, so it does not sit as a patch. More on colour matching.
Before and after
The same car, before and after
A real accident repair from our workshop: an Audi RS Q3 with front-end collision damage as it arrived, and the same car repaired back to factory standard.
The repair stages
How an accident repair goes
Six stages, and the car does not move on to the next one until the last is right.
Job 1: Fiat 500, dented and scraped door and rear quarter
Damage
The car as it came in, before any work starts.
Metal work
Dents taken out and the panels worked back to their original line.
Filler
Filler shaped and sanded flat, ready for primer.
Primer
The repair primed, ready for colour.
Painting
Paint mixed to the car’s code and sprayed in the booth.
Finished
Lacquered and polished until the new paint reads the same as the old.
Job 2: Mercedes A-Class, rear bumper corner damage
Damage
The car as it came in, before any work starts.
Plastic welding
The damaged bumper repaired with a plastic weld.
Filler
A thin skim of filler, shaped and sanded flat.
Primer
Edges masked off and the repair primed, ready for colour.
Painting
Paint mixed to the car’s code and sprayed in the booth.
Finished
Lacquered and polished until the new paint reads the same as the old.
No price list — and that is deliberate
Two cars with the same scratch can be an hour apart in work. Send a photo of the damage and you get a real figure, not a guess dressed up as a starting price.
Why choose us
Why drivers bring accident damage to us
An independent shop where the person who quotes the job is the person who sprays it.
Dents pulled, not buried
The panel is drawn back to its original shape with a stud welder before filler or paint is considered.
Matched to your paint code
Colour is mixed to the vehicle’s own code and blended out, so the repair does not sit as a patch.
Quick where it can be quick
Efficiency is one of the things customers name on Google. Small jobs are not held for a week to fill a diary.
We take on the awkward ones
Prestige cars and the jobs other shops turn away — if it can be done properly, we will quote it.

Questions
Accident repair questions
How much does accident repair cost?
There is no price list, because two cars with the same damage can be hours apart in work. Send a photo through the quote form or on WhatsApp and you get a real figure back, free.
Do you handle insurance claims?
Yes, for non-fault accidents. If the accident wasn’t your fault, we can handle the repair through an accident management company. We don’t deal directly with the at-fault driver’s insurer. Get in touch and we’ll explain how it works for your claim.
Do you repair damaged panels or replace them?
Wherever a panel can be brought back properly, we repair it: dents are drawn out with a stud welder and reshaped before any filler goes on. If a panel is too far gone, it is replaced and painted to match.
Will the repair match the rest of my car?
Paint is mixed to your vehicle’s own paint code and blended into the surrounding panels, so the repair does not stand out. See colour matching for how that works.
How long will my car be with you?
Bumper corner repairs usually take 1 day, and slightly bigger jobs usually take 2 to 3 days. A respray takes around 2 weeks. Every job is different, so we’ll confirm the time when we quote.
Do you work on all makes of car?
Yes. Cars of any age and any make, from everyday hatchbacks to prestige cars, including the awkward jobs other shops turn away.
