Panel Beating

Dents, creases and crumpled panels made straight

Skilled panel beating that restores original panel lines — from small parking dents to heavily deformed body sections.

Panel beating is a craft. A dent can be filled and hidden, or the metal can actually be worked back to the shape it left the factory in — and only one of those still looks right two years later.

Our panel beaters work steel and aluminium back to their original contour by hand and with the right tools, keeping filler to a minimum. From a supermarket car park dent to a badly folded door skin, the aim is the same: straight lines, even gaps and a surface ready for paint.

What to expect

Repair or replace — an honest call

Some panels are quicker and cheaper to replace than to save; others are worth the hours. We tell you which is which up front instead of quietly doing whichever suits us.

Rust and corrosion

Rust does not stop on its own. We cut out corroded sections, weld in clean metal and seal the repair properly, so the bubbling doesn't come back through your new paint in a season.

Ready for the paint booth

Every panel we beat leaves our bay flat, sanded and primed. Good paint starts with good preparation — most finishes that fail were let down long before the spray gun came out.

Common questions

Can you fix a small dent without repainting?: Sometimes, if the paint is unbroken. Where the finish is cracked or scraped we'll need to refinish the panel to keep it protected and colour-matched.
Do you repair rust on older vehicles?: Yes — cut out, welded and sealed. We'll show you the extent of the corrosion before quoting.
How much does panel beating cost?: It comes down to the panel and how far the metal has moved. Bring the vehicle to 24 Chatham Road or send photos on WhatsApp for a quick indication.
