Car scratch repair & car dent repair near me

Scratch repair process

Scratch repair processes vary depending on the type of scratch we’re dealing with. It also changes if we’ve got a dent to take care of. It may be you need a car paint repair service too, something we also offer. Here’s a general process we’ll take to give you an idea of how we carry out car scratch repairs:

Step 1 – Assess and explain

When it comes to car scratch repairs, first we will do an assessment what process we will go through on your particular scratch repair. We will have a quick conversation with you to explain the process we intend to take.

Step 2 – Clean and prepare

We’ll then decontaminate the panel(s) and give them a good clean to prepare the surface. We’ll mask the area the avoid damaging panels that are nearby whilst we carry out the work. Then we carry out the essential preparation work.

Step 3 – Prime the car scratch

Should the scratch need painting we’ll work to prime the area. We use high quality materials and techniques learned over 16 years of bodyshop work experience and hours of courses. After priming the area, we apply heat lamps to cure the product.

Step 4 – Repair the car scratch

We need to mix the paint colour to match the paintwork of the car. We use the latest technology to match the paint so it will be indistinguishable from the rest of the car. Once applied and dried we carry out a further clean. We then undertake final checks before applying a top coat UV protection-lacquer. To set this we apply heat lamps and calculate the curing time according to the technical data sheets.

Step 5 – Polishing

For the best results we polish the area, making sure that we’re 100% happy with the results so we can show the customer. We take great pride in our 5* reputation and aren’t looking to change that.

When dealing with dents there are a few methods to get these out. We will pull the dent out as much as possible using our glue dent pulling system or out spot weld dent pulling system. This helps to bring the panel to original shape, or as close to it as possible. After the dent is removed, we then need to fill it to remove all marks and smooth out the panel.

Adam carried out a paint work correction to both my car and my partners car. Adams work is first class, you would never know a paint repair had been carried out. The colour match and blending was perfect. We would highly recommend Rapid Paintwork to our family and friends should they require any car bodywork or paintwork repairs.

Adam is a perfectionist as he came back to redo the work, he was not 100% happy with the first time around. Would definetily recommend Adam, as he did a great job on my car. Great communication from the start till the end of the process. Will use him again.

Excellent. The engineer was very polite and courteous. He arrived on time and finished earlier than anticipated. The job is great, the car looks just like it did before the scuffs.

Having checked out a few body shops beforehand I can’t recommend Adam strongly enough. He was great to deal with from the off, most of the communication is done via WhatsApp making it easy and his quote was far more sensible than others.

He kept in contact and confirmed the appointment, then on the day he was perfect, a pleasure to deal with and the work is of the highest standard.

5* service and now my only place to go for any bodywork needed.
