Car body repair prices
We believe in clear, honest pricing — and that means explaining how car body repair costs actually work.
Every job is different, and a professional finish takes precise colour-matching and often blending into the next panel so the paint looks seamless in all light. Even a small scuff can mean work on more than one panel.
Prices also vary depending on:
• Colour type — solid, metallic or pearl
• The size and depth of the damage
• Whether panels, trims or sensors need removing
• Repair method — filler vs. replacement part
All of our repairs include materials, VAT and a 2-year guarantee, carried out to BS10125 standards by qualified technicians.
(Replacement parts if needed are not included)
