Dents caused by car doors, shopping trolleys, parking incidents and minor accidents are one of the most common types of bodywork damage. The right removal method depends on the specific dent rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Paintless dent repair (PDR)
PDR can be suitable when the paint remains intact and the dent is in an accessible location with a shape the technique can address. It works by carefully reshaping the panel from behind, without needing to fill or repaint.
Conventional dent repair
Where the paint has been broken, or the dent is more severe or awkwardly shaped, conventional repair is usually needed. This can involve reshaping the panel, filling where appropriate, and refinishing to match the surrounding paintwork.
How the right method gets chosen
- Whether the paint surface is broken
- The size, depth and shape of the dent
- Where on the panel the dent is located
- How accessible the back of the panel is
