Panel damage

Dents, scratches and penetrating damage in wall and roof panels — we straighten and restore shape and colour to original condition rather than replacing whole sections.

Repair rather than replace

Panel work that keeps the original

Most panel damage can be repaired without replacing the whole wall. We straighten dents, repair penetrating damage and reinforce where needed, so the result lasts like the original.

We work with both smooth and hammered panels. Hammered panels — the lightly textured surface on many leisure vehicles — are repaired with the HBC method, so the whole wall rarely needs replacing unnecessarily.

We handle everything from parking knocks and stone chips to larger collision damage, and help you assess the extent before work begins.

Common questions about panel damage

What we're most often asked about panels, methods and insurance.

Does the whole wall have to be replaced?
Rarely. Most damage can be repaired with the original material intact. Hammered panels are repaired with the HBC method instead of replacing the whole wall.
What is the HBC method?
The HBC method is a repair system for hammered panels that lets us fix the damage instead of replacing the whole wall — preserving the original and keeping the cost down.
Do you handle insurance claims?
Yes. We handle insurance and warranty cases and work with most insurance companies. We guide you through the entire process.
How long does the repair take?
It depends on the extent of the damage. Send photos and we'll come back with an assessment and an estimated timeline.
