Salt spray from the A12 and tight parking in Hackney mean wings and sills see constant knocks. Car Respray repairs corrosion properly — cutting out rust, welding where needed, then sealing and respraying so the problem does not return under fresh paint. Contact 020 8088 4319 with photos of bubbling paint.
Rust is not just cosmetic
Bubbling around wheel arches often hides perforated metal. We cut back to sound steel, treat with epoxy primer, and only then apply colour. Skipping metalwork is how quick fixes fail within a year.
East London collection routes
We plan collections from Hackney, Stratford and Dalston when traffic is lighter, reducing time your car spends on a transporter.
Mixed panel materials
Plastic cladding on modern bumpers pairs with steel wings — each needs the right filler and flex agents. We match products to substrate.
After repair protection
We recommend regular underbody washes in winter and can apply stone-chip coatings on sills when respraying lowers panels.
