Dents!

[DarrenandManda]

Just taken delivery of my brand new Bailey Pageant. First time out, got a bit cocky trying to errect the awning in a breeze.

Oops, pole swings straight into the side panel. Lots of small dents!

I've already contacted my insurance but does anybody know of a good repairer. Can you use "Dent Magic" techniques (paintless) on a caravan or will it be a fill and paint job? I'm trying to avoid the horror of a new panel and loosing the van for who knows how long!

Hi Darren

This is really bad news, I am sorry this has happened. I have used dentmaster techniques on cars and they have worked well, but I do not know how you are going to get to the inside of your van easily with this technique? With a car they normally pass a rod down the gap in the window to remove small dents or remove the door panel for larger ones for example...anyway hope things works out well...

you have to fill and paint or its new panel,cheaper option been the first.barrons did it for me when picked up new van with very small stone dent in side of van.couldn't see where it had been.best get some quotes.

I had a similar problem and my dealer Wandahome (the service side is TC caravans 01430 423950) at south cave near hull put me on to a mobile repair service. he came to site and did a superb job of filling and spraying the dent. I would suggest you tried contacting them for the number. Hop this helps

ChipsAway fixed my caravan (and car) after a similar disaster. They filled and repainted the van on my drive. My local man (Leicestershire) is on 01162 570999 and I guess it's a franchise so he should be able to give you a local number.
