In Robert's words

Over 30 years professionally paints cars using the latest technologies to minimize filler thickness. I use dent removal rods, hot glue, pdr induction heater and spot welder. Also repair bumpers (welding) and refresh painted coatings.
Robert, on Facebook

What Robert repairs

Dents, scratches and stone chips

On doors, boots and bonnets. Robert's kit includes dent removal rods, hot glue and a PDR induction heater.

Bumpers

Front and back bumpers repaired and painted to match. Robert repairs bumpers by welding.

Rust

Rust bubbles on wheel arches and bodywork, and rust around a fuel filler cap, repaired and repainted.

Panel repair instead of replacement

Where a damaged panel can be saved, Robert repairs and reshapes it instead of fitting a new one.

Paintwork and resprays

From a single panel to a complete respray. Robert has painted cars professionally for over 30 years.

Polishing and sticker removal

Polishing that brings back the shine, and removing stickers from vans.

Vans and campervans

Work vans, Transits, VW vans and Berlingos. Campervan jobs have included a complete respray and, on a long-wheelbase Sprinter camper, welding and a Raptor paint finish.

Motorhomes: please call before booking. One customer wrote that the workshop entrance is okay for cars and vans, but not the height for a motorhome.

What customers say

Customers mention the same things: fair prices compared with main dealers and bigger bodyshops, quick booking, being kept informed, and Robert himself.

Fast efficient service at a very reasonable price compared to some of 'big' bodyshops I asked to price.
John B., Google review

I was quoted for a whole new panel as no one wanted to fix it but replace it … he was the only one that has the knowledge and the experience to be able to repair panels not just replace them

Questions

Can you repair a damaged panel instead of replacing it?

Where the panel can be saved, yes. One customer who had been quoted for a whole new panel elsewhere had it repaired by Robert instead. Ask Robert about yours.

Do you work on vans, campervans and motorhomes?

Vans and campervans, yes: reviews mention work vans, a Transit, a VW van, a Berlingo and campervans. Motorhomes: please call first. One customer wrote that the workshop entrance is okay for cars and vans, but not the height for a motorhome.

How do I get a quote?

Call or WhatsApp 07534 172390, or send the form on this page. You can attach up to three photos of the damage.
