A black sports car freshly painted and masked up in the spray booth at Smith Motors

Our work

Before and after

The honest test of a repair is whether you can see where it was.

Dark red Toyota Yaris outside the workshop with the rear door and quarter filled and primed — Before

The same Toyota Yaris masked up in the booth, painted back to deep red — After

Toyota Yaris, rear door and quarter

Filled and primed, then painted and blended into the panels either side so the join doesn't show.

Scuffed rear bumper on a silver Toyota, sanded back ready for primer — Before

The same bumper masked up and painted back to silver — After

Toyota, rear bumper

Scuffed bumper. Sanded back, primed and painted to the car's own code.

Dark blue BMW outside the workshop with the driver's door and sill damaged — Before

The same BMW back in the workshop with the replacement door on and the side painted — After

BMW, driver's side

A second-hand door sourced, painted to match and fitted, and the sill repaired and painted rather than replaced. Far cheaper for the customer than buying new panels.

White van panel masked up with filler showing through the primer — Before

The same white van masked along the side, painted, in the spray booth — After

White van, side

Filled and flatted back, then painted so the new work runs into the old.

Panels off, done properly

These came off a Kubota and were dropped in by the customer. Repaired, primed and painted on the stands, so the paint wraps round the edges instead of stopping at a line of tape.

FilledFiller worked over the damage, then flatted back by hand.
PrimedPrimer over the lot, then flatted back again.
PaintedColour and lacquer, edges included, ready to refit.

What we do

Paintwork, and the repairs that go with it

Scuffs, scratches and dents

Car park knocks, kerbed bumpers, trolley scrapes and creased panels put right.

Blow overs

Tired, faded or patchy paint brought back across the whole car.

Any paintwork, cars and vans

A single panel or the lot, matched to your paint code so the repair doesn't show.

Motorbike panels

Tanks, fairings and side panels stripped, repaired and refinished.

General tidy-ups

Paintwork smartened up all round, rather than one repair. Worth doing before you sell it.

Lease and company cars

Damage put right before it goes back, so you're not stung for it at the end of the agreement.

Plant and machinery

Diggers, tractors and site machinery

Same job, bigger panels. Machine bodywork takes a harder life than a car ever does, and a cracked bonnet doesn't mean a new one. This JCB engine cover came in split right through with a piece broken off the bottom — repairing it instead of buying a replacement saved the customer thousands.

Kubota, JCB, Case — whatever's stood in the yard. Panels off, repaired and painted the same way a car is.

Fibreglass and fillerFibreglass over the crack first, to put the strength back, then filler on top to get the shape right.
Flatted backSanded level and primed. The crack has gone.

JCB engine cover

Cracked right through. Fibreglassed, filled, flatted back and painted, ready to go back on.

How it works

What to expect

FIRST

Call ahead and bring it down

A quick call so we know to expect you. Then we'll have a proper look at it — damage is rarely only what you can see, so quoting off a photo would mean changing the price later, and we'd rather not do that.

THEN

We quote you a price

Free, and before any work starts. If a repair isn't worth the money, we'll tell you.

AFTER

Booked in and work carried out

We'll tell you how long we need the vehicle. If that changes, you'll hear it from us — not when you turn up to collect it.

Called today to collect my car after a little bump and wow the work is 10/10 seamlessly blended in plus sorted out a mark on the front of the car. If anyone needs excellent repairs and excellent service try Smith Motors

Very happy with the quality of work and service provided by Alex when repairing a dent in the body work of my car. He was efficient, easy to deal with and did what he said he would do for a reasonable price. A well run business.
Polly Williams · Google

Absolutely brilliant body shop. Honest proprietor with integrity in a murky business sector. All give 5 stars. He also does JCBs or Case diggers, part of the panel thing
