Dent Removal

Dent Removal

Door dings, hail damage and minor panel dents don’t always need a respray. Where the paint surface is intact, our paintless dent removal technique massages the metal back into shape from behind the panel, keeping your factory paint finish untouched. For deeper dents, traditional panel repair gets the same clean result.

Our Process

1. Assess — We check the dent depth, location and paint condition.
2. Access — Specialist rods or tools access the panel from behind.
3. Massage or Repair — Metal is worked back into shape, paintlessly where possible.
4. Final Check — Panel is checked under light for a smooth, even surface.

Paintless Dent Removal or Panel Repair?

Not every dent needs filler and paint. When the paint is unbroken and the dent is on a panel we can reach from behind, paintless dent removal (PDR) uses specialist tools to work the metal back into shape from the inside. The factory paint stays intact, there’s no colour matching, and the job is usually quicker and cheaper than a conventional repair.

If the paint is cracked, the dent sits on a sharp body line or the metal has been stretched, traditional panel beating with paint finishing gives a better result. We’ll look at the damage and recommend the right method.

Dent Removal FAQs

Does paintless dent removal damage the paint?

No. When the paint is in good condition, PDR reshapes the metal without breaking the surface.

Can you fix hail damage?

Many hail dents suit PDR. We can assess storm damage and send the quote to your insurer. See insurance repairs.

What if the dent has scratched the paint?

Then we repair the dent and refinish the area. Our scratch repair and spray painting services cover that.
