What it covers
Dents pulled, not buried
The quick way to fix a dent is to fill it. The trouble is that a thick layer of filler over a dent that has not been pulled can crack or sink later, and the repair starts to show. We do it the other way round: the dent is drawn back out with a stud welder and the panel is worked back to shape first, so only a thin skim of filler is needed before primer and paint.
That is the step that decides whether a repair lasts, and it applies to everything from a car park ding in a door to a creased wing or quarter panel.
Dents and creases
Drawn out with a stud welder and reshaped before any filler goes near them.
Car park dings
Door dents and small knocks, sorted without holding the car for a week.
Panel reshaping
Wings, doors and quarter panels worked back to their original line by hand.
Panel replacement
Where a panel is past saving, it is replaced and painted to match the rest of the car.
Bumper repair
Scuffs, cracks and splits repaired and refinished rather than replaced where the part allows.
Finished in paint that matches
After the metal work, the repair is painted in colour mixed to your car’s own code and blended out. More on colour matching.
Before and after
The same panel, before and after
A real dent repair from our workshop: a dented rear quarter panel on a BMW M3 Touring as it came in, and the same panel finished.
The repair stages
A dent repair, close up
Four stages, and the panel does not move on to the next one until the last is right.
Close-up: BMW M3 Touring rear quarter panel
Metal work
The dent pulled out and the panel worked back to shape, ready for filler.
Masked
The rest of the car masked off so only the repair gets paint.
Painting
Painted to the car’s code in the booth.
Finished
Lacquered and polished, with the panel back to its original line.
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 dents and panel 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
Dent and panel repair questions
How much does dent repair cost?
There is no price list, because the size, depth and position of a dent all change the work. Send a photo through the quote form or on WhatsApp and you get a real figure back, free.
Why not just fill the dent?
Thick filler over a dent that has not been pulled can crack or sink later. Drawing the panel back out first means only a thin skim of filler is needed, and the repair lasts.
Do you repair small car park dents?
Yes. Small jobs are welcome, and they are not held for a week to fill a diary.
Will I be able to see where the dent was?
The aim is that you cannot. Once the panel is back in shape, it is painted in colour mixed to your car’s code and blended into the panels around it. See colour matching.
