Peugeot Car Body Repair Nottingham
This is a rear bumper bar that sits behind the rear plastic cover that most of us call the bumper. This steel bar gives protection in case of a rear impact. In many cases the plastic cover shows only minor evidence of impact as the plastic quickly recovers it's memory and shape but as you can see the integrity of the steel beam and the protection that it offered has gone.

You can see the new bar fitted and how different it is compared to the damaged bar.

Audi MK 1 TT.

See the depth of car body filler on the 1/4 panel from a previous repair.
The previous work had to be removed before we could use our dent puller to pull the 1/4 panel into shape.
This minimizes the use of fillers and gives a far longer lasting repair and much better finish.

Ford Car Body & Scratch Repair In Nottingham
Customer did not want the wing replacing as we had suggested.
Click Here
Economically a new wing would have been the usual way.
You can see Tom preparing the wing ready for the application of pins.
The pins will be welded onto the panel which is then pulled into shape.
This process reduces the amount of car body filler used which greatly improves the standard of the repair.
You can see the repair finished and several coats of high quality primer applied.
The primer is then flatted.
A covering coat of the latest water based paint is applied and lacquered.
After the lacquer is baked the repaired area is polished and sent for wash.

Nissan Navara Commercial Bodywork Repair Nottingham
Big repair to a Nissan Navara for a friend as a wedding present !!
Click Here
This has been a difficult repair and was actually a Cat D insurance write off. Category D is for lightly damaged cars, or those which were stolen and recovered after the owner had been paid by the insurance company.
The official description of a Category D car is one that has suffered accident damage that would cost less to repair than its value.
The repair process involved extensive use of our Pro-Pull dent puller system and includes the least amount of body filler possible.
You can see that there are no ripples or imperfections which are usually highlighted when the body colour is black.
This is an exceptionally fine repair shown off by a very nice paint finish and has i... -
Ford Car Body Paint & Repair Nottingham
Body damage to a Ford Fiesta.
Click Here
Near side panels damaged in a parking 'incident' in a Nottingham car park.
We used our dent pulling system to repair the sill damage to minimise the amount of body filler. This is obviously an area of the car that is close to the road and is exposed to water, snow, ice and salt etc. so (as in most cases) we want to make as little use of filler as is possible.
The next images show that the damage has been repaired and a high quality 2k primer applied to the repair area and flatted down ready for paint.
We used the Scratchmaster colour spectro camera to identify the perfect colour match and the car was then painted and lacquered with three coats of protective clear lacquer.
The last images show that the car h... -

Audi A1 Paint Scratch Repair Nottingham
Damage on white cars is particularly difficult to photograph but this nearly new Audi A1 had damage to the edge of the drivers door caused by the wind getting hold of the door and the door then hitting a wall causing a dent to the door edge .
Click Here
The door handles need to be removed and a repair carried out.
Again we made use of our dent pulling system and just the slightest skim of filler to finish off.
The repair was primed, painted and lacquered.
You can see that the rear ¼ panel has been painted and lacquered although there was no damage to that panel.
When a damage is as close to the adjoining panel as this we have to fade the new paint into the next panel to guarantee a perfect colour match.
Here at Scratchmaster we can repair body... -
Peugeot Commercial Body Repair
The damage to the near side of our customers' Peugeot van, as can be seen from the images, was quite heavy to say the least. Our Dent pulling system really was on overtime here.

Ford Car Body Paint & Repair Nottingham
This Ford KA had a significant “prang” to the near side ¼ panel. Considering the overall value of the car our customer’s insurers would almost certainly have written the car off as being not economically repairable.
Click Here
Mechanically speaking the car had low mileage and held sentimental value to the customer so considering also that she had a high insurance excess we took on the repair for her.
You can see from the “before” images that the dent is large and affects nearly all of the ¼ panel.
The repair process involved taking off all the paint from the damaged area, using our dent pulling equipment to pull the dent into shape then applying several thin layers of body filler to finalise the shape and any styling lines that the pane... -
Volkswagen Accident Repair Nottingham
Here you can see a nearly new Volkswagen Polo with a badly creased door. Our panel technician Steve Perry advised the customer that the door skin had wrapped around the inner frame of the door and that a new door was needed.
Click Here
We priced up the options of a new door and the associated work (changing over the locks, glass, interior trims and electrics) and the fitting and painting.
Steve thought that there was an outside chance of carrying out a repair to the existing door and that is the option that the customer chose.
Steve has removed all the paint from the damaged area and can be seen using our dent pulling system to both pull the dent and shrink away any areas that contain high spots.
The dent pulling system is a fantastic piece of eq...
