Car Body Repairs
Our car body repairs address damage ranging from minor scratches to major structural issues. Using advanced tools like computerised paint-matching systems and low-bake ovens, we ensure seamless finishes that restore vehicles to original condition. Clients benefit from tailored solutions for domestic and commercial vehicles, including fleet services, with repairs compliant with manufacturer specifications and COSHH guidelines.
Accident Repairs
Accident repairs cover impact damage from minor bumps to severe collisions. We utilise sophisticated diagnosis and repair techniques, including Junair spray ovens and Car Bench jigs, to restore structural integrity. Services include dealing with insurers, mobile estimates, and eco-conscious practices using water-based paints, ensuring minimal environmental impact without compromising quality.
Dent Repairs
Dent repairs eliminate imperfections caused by collisions or environmental factors. Our paintless dent repair and SMART technology allow non-invasive fixes for minor damage, preserving paintwork integrity. Benefits include rapid turnaround, cost efficiency, and avoiding future rust risks, ideal for both private vehicle owners and commercial fleets.
SMART Repairs
SMART Repairs focus on minor cosmetic damage like scratches and chips through targeted techniques. This method minimises material use and drying times while achieving seamless colour-matched finishes. Ideal for cost-effective, environmentally friendly fixes, it avoids full panel replacements and reduces vehicle downtime.

Alloy wheel repair restores damaged rims to showroom condition using precision techniques. Services include scuff removal, structural correction, and protective coatings. Clients benefit from enhanced vehicle aesthetics and value retention, with repairs suitable for both standard and high-end vehicles.

Great results and great service - I had several dents and rust patches repaired and now I can't tell where they were before the repair so that says it all!

Mixed bag, all very friendly and accommodating at quote stage but thats where it goes downhill. Paint repair is ok, no better than that and Im pretty sure that 3rd party parts have been used not originals. Towing eye cover was open when we picked the car up and was shown to be broken. 2 weeks later after chasing twice a replacement arrives. As it turns out the original broken part has been glued into place, no replacement for as ever ordered as promise (good luck getting that open). Half truths and misleading customers seem to be the order of the day, would not recommend.

Very prifessional snd friendly service with our written quotation received very quickly. We were able to arrange a mutually convenient date and a loan car at no extra cost so really delighted at how Chris got us organised. They did a brilliant job and would thoroughly recommend R&P for any major bodywork repairs.
