Frequently Asked Questions
What does a panel beater actually do?
A panel beater repairs damage to the metal body of vehicles after accidents, hail, or general wear. They remove dents, reshape panels, replace parts if necessary, and prepare surfaces for painting. The process may involve welding, grinding, sanding, filling, and precision alignment to restore the vehicle’s original shape. It’s both a skilled trade and a critical part of the collision repair process, helping to ensure the vehicle is both safe and aesthetically sound.
Is it better to repair or replace a damaged panel?
It depends on the severity and location of the damage. Minor dents and creases can often be repaired with traditional panel beating techniques. However, if a panel is torn, badly warped, or if repairing it would compromise the structural integrity of the car, replacement may be the safer and more cost-effective option. A professional will assess and recommend the best course of action.
How long does panel beating take?
For small dents or minor damage, panel beating might only take 1–2 days. For more serious repairs, including structural damage or multiple panels, the process can take a week or longer. Timeframes also depend on parts availability, paint curing, and any follow-up refinishing work. Your repairer should give you a clear estimate at the start.
Precision Work
Structural Accuracy Guaranteed
Good panel beating isn’t just about looks—it’s about getting your car back to its safest and most reliable condition. Using specialist tools like dollies, hammers, sanders and welding equipment, skilled panel beaters reshape damaged metal, repair frames, and restore strength to body panels. In some cases, we’ll remove the panel completely, repair it off the vehicle, then realign it and reattach it seamlessly. This ensures a perfect fit with adjoining panels and makes it ready for prep and paint.
When done properly, panel beating leaves no trace of damage. That’s why it’s important to choose a repairer that prioritises both detail and durability. Ask questions, request a breakdown of the work, and don’t settle for cheap shortcuts—especially when your vehicle’s safety and resale value are on the line.
