SPECIALIST VAN BODYWORK. A REPAIR-FIRST APPROACH. Owner-drivers & fleets

A DENT DOES NOT ALWAYS NEED A NEW PANEL.

Van dent repairs.

A parking dent, creased side panel or loading knock can make a working van look tired. The right fix depends on the metal, the shape of the damage and whether the paint has broken.

01

What determines whether a dent can be repaired?

Depth alone does not tell the whole story. A crease across a panel edge, stretched metal or damage near a mounting point can change the repair approach. Access behind the panel and the condition of existing paint also matter.

  • Take one photo straight on and another at an angle.
  • Include the panel edges and any gaps around doors or adjoining panels.
  • Tell us about previous repairs, filler or damaged paint if you know about them.

02

Dent removal and paint refinishing are separate questions.

Even when a panel can be reshaped, the finish may need preparation, colour matching and repainting. Paintless dent repair is not suitable for every dent and should not be assumed from a photo. The proposed method should be explained before booking.

03

When a replacement is the more sensible option.

Extensive stretching, torn metal or damage that cannot be restored appropriately may call for a replacement. Suitable reclaimed OEM panels are considered on condition, fit and safety, not simply on their purchase price.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

Your questions.
Clear answers.

Can you quote for a dent without replacing the panel?

A repair-first assessment considers whether the existing panel can be restored. Photos are useful initially, but an inspection may be needed to confirm the method and cost.

Will a dent repair need painting?

It depends on the damage and the condition of the finish. Broken paint, sharp creases or stretched metal may require preparation and refinishing.

Does dent size alone determine the price?

No. Location, access, panel shape, paint condition and any adjacent damage also affect the work.
