Dents from car parks, trolleys, doors and minor knocks — repaired in Ilford by technicians who fix them every day. Every dent is repaired properly: the panel is worked back to shape, refinished in our heated spray booth with paint mixed to your manufacturer’s exact colour code, and blended into the surrounding panels for an invisible finish.

Dent repair questions
How much does dent repair cost?
Every dent is different, so we quote from photos and keep the price reasonable. Photos get you a fixed price before you commit.
How long does a dent repair take?
Most scuffs and cracks are done in 1–2 days. Larger or multi-panel repairs take longer — you’ll get a timescale with your estimate.
Can you fix multiple dents at once?
Yes, and it’s usually cheaper per dent — common after hail damage or a vandalism incident. Ask for a multi-dent price.
Will the repair be invisible?
That’s the goal of every job: paint mixed to your manufacturer’s code, blended into the surrounding panels and checked under daylight lamps before handover.
