What Kind of Bodywork Repairs Do We Offer?
Surface Rust Treatment
Early signs of rust — especially around arches, sills, windscreen pillars, and door seams — can be dealt with effectively before they become structural. We carefully remove the affected area back to clean metal, apply professional-grade rust converters and primers, and repaint to match the original finish.
We don’t just sand and spray — we treat the cause and seal the result, so it lasts.
Scratch & Scuff Repair
Campervans pick up scratches from branches, bikes, or even awkward parking. We use paint blending and panel re-lacquering to remove or disguise scratches and scuffs on bumpers, sliding doors, and side panels.
Paint Correction & Faded Panels
Got a dull or faded bonnet? Maybe your Alphard’s black paint has lost its depth? We offer machine polishing and clear coat correction to restore gloss and protect against future fading — great for older Japanese imports.
Dent Removal (Non-Structural)
We can repair and smooth small dents on panels, wheel arches, and door skins — without resorting to panel replacement. Where possible, we use paintless dent removal (PDR) or panel reshaping, followed by seamless paintwork restoration.
Cosmetic Repaints & Panel Touch-Ups
Sometimes a whole panel needs repainting — we can professionally prep and respray individual panels to factory finish using colour-matched paint and high-quality lacquer. This avoids over-spraying and unnecessary full resprays.
Campervan Bodywork Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of bodywork do you do?
We specialise in cosmetic campervan bodywork, including:
Surface rust treatment
Scratch and scuff repair
Panel repainting and blending
Non-structural dent removal
Paint correction and polishing
Faded panel restoration
Small accident damage and bumper scuffs
Do you treat surface rust?
Yes — surface rust is one of our most common repairs. We’ll sand or grind back to clean metal, apply rust converter, then prime, repaint and blend the area to prevent it from returning.
We treat rust properly — not just mask it with paint. And we only use professional rust treatments and primers, like red oxide and anti-corrosion sealants.
Can you match the colour of my van?
Absolutely. We use paint code matching and industry software to blend repairs perfectly into the original finish.
If your paint has faded (common on Japanese imports like the Alphard), we polish and feather in the new paint to make sure it’s seamless.
Do you repair scratches and scuffs?
Yes — we repair all kinds of minor body damage including:
Key scratches
Bush scrapes
Sliding door scuffs
Rear corner scrapes
Front bumper scratches
Parking scuffs
Most of these are fixed with light panel prep, filler (if needed), colour-matched paint and lacquer, followed by machine polish to finish.
Do you do dent removal?
Yes — we offer non-structural dent repair on panels, doors and arches. For shallow dents we can often perform paintless dent removal (PDR). If paint is damaged or filler is required, we’ll respray the panel and blend it back in professionally.
How much does it cost?
Here’s a typical price guide:
| Service | From Price |
|---|---|
| Surface Rust Treatment | £95 |
| Scratch/Scuff Repair | £125–£175 |
| Dent Removal (PDR or repair) | £85–£150 |
| Paint Correction (per panel) | £125 |
| Small Panel Repaint | £195+ |
| Full Machine Polish | £150 |
We’ll always inspect your van first and give you a full, no-pressure quote.
What vans do you work on?
We work on all makes and models, but we specialise in:
VW Transporter T5, T6, T6.1
Toyota Alphard, Hiace, Granvia
Mazda Bongo
Nissan Elgrand
Mitsubishi Delica
Ford Transit (Custom & Connect)
Peugeot Boxer, Fiat Ducato, Citroën Relay
Most Japanese Imports & Day Vans
How long will repairs take?
Most bodywork repairs are completed within 1–3 working days, depending on the size of the job. Small surface rust or scratch repairs may be turned around same-day in some cases.
Can you fix bubbling arches or fading paint?
Yes — these are some of the most common issues we see on VW Transporters and Japanese imports. Bubbling arches are treated back to metal and refinished. Faded panels (like bonnets or tailgates) are corrected or repainted.
