Hi guys,

Managed to pick up this lovely dent on my sill.

What are my options and likely costs for getting this fixed?



Thanks!

Hi Ed ,

do you also remove dents by pulling the center of the dent using glue stick type tech then tapping down flat ????

Wow, its within the realms of a smart repair? I contacted one firm who said they couldnt get in behind it so would suck it out but it would never look 100%. Could you completely remove it?

You are quite some distance from me - whats the furthest away from Kent you come incase I'm in the area in the future?

Massive generalisation, and often wrong. My paint supervisor has been repairing car bodywork since 1978. We have over 60 years of paintwork experience between our staff.

And yes, we're a ChipsAway franchise.
