Expert Car Body Repair Services for Leamington Spa
Coventry Body Shop has no branch in Leamington Spa. The one workshop is in Wyken, on the east side of Coventry, under a mile from University Hospital Coventry. For drivers in Leamington Spa, a repair means a drive to Wyken. We also have pages for drivers in Warwick and Kenilworth.
We do not collect or deliver cars. Before you make the trip, you can send photos of the damage, by WhatsApp to +44 7903 105777 or through the Send enquiry button. You can also call the same number. A small inspection is free, and you pay no deposit to book.
Mastering the Car Scratch Repair Process
The repair depends on how deep the scratch goes:
- Clear coat only: often machine polished out.
- Through to the colour: polishing will not remove it, and it needs paint.
- Down to bare metal: it needs paint too, and is worth booking soon, because exposed steel can rust.
- Small chips: often a paint touch-up, from £49 plus VAT (£58.80 including VAT).
Our scratch removal and machine polish service is priced per panel, from £120 plus VAT (£144 including VAT). The final price is set after we inspect the car.
Comprehensive Car Respray Solutions
A full respray is the largest paint job we do. The old finish is prepared, and dents and chips are repaired where needed before the colour goes on.
Your car's colour is sprayed in our spray booth, and our colour matching uses the manufacturer's paint code, specialist colour mixing and a spectrophotometer.
The director, a former Aston Martin technician and painter, does all of the painting. A full body respray starts from £1,495 plus VAT (£1,794 including VAT) and takes 3 to 7 days.
Precision Paint Correction Techniques
Paint correction is machine polishing that can remove swirl marks and light scratches from the clear coat, depending on how deep they go. Polishing removes a little of the surface, and we have a paint depth gauge for checking the paint thickness.
Polishing cannot put colour back. Lacquer that is peeling needs repainting.
Professional Bumper Repair and Respray
After looking at bumper damage, we tell you whether the bumper should be repaired or replaced:
- Scuffs and scratches: often only preparation and paint.
- Cracks: some can be plastic welded and filled.
- Badly broken: can be replaced.
- Parking sensors or cameras: mention them when you send photos.
Where paint is needed, the bumper is painted to your car's paint code in the spray booth. See our bumper repair page, or our bumper respray service, from £210 plus VAT (£252 including VAT).
Accident Repair and Insurance Assistance
For an insurance claim, we provide photographs and a quote for your insurer, and we can deal with the insurer for you if you want. We are insured but not insurer-approved, so check with your insurer how it handles a body shop you choose.
Accident repairs here cover dents, scrapes, cracked bumpers and bent panels. Bent panels are straightened by panel beating. A bolt-on panel that is past saving, such as a wing, can be replaced, with the part priced in your quote. We do not cut or weld metal panels. If your car needs that, we will tell you and recommend a garage we have trusted with welding work before.
Cost-Effective SMART Repair Solutions
SMART (Small to Medium Area Repair Technology) aims to keep the repair to a small area around the damage instead of the whole panel, and can suit chips and small scuffs.
Our SMART repair starts from £75 plus VAT (£90 including VAT). Some small jobs can be finished the same day, but allow 1 to 2 days.
Paint Protection and Headlight Restoration
We offer machine polishing and paint protection. Freshly painted panels need to cure before protection goes on.
Faded, yellowed headlights are a separate job. Our headlight restoration is priced per lens, from £85 plus VAT (£102 including VAT).
Choosing Coventry Body Shop from Leamington Spa
Every repair carries our 6-month workmanship guarantee from the day you collect the car. The quote shows the price, the VAT and the total, and every price on this page is a "from" price confirmed after inspection.
If the damage needs more than a quick look, a deep inspection is from £200 plus VAT (£240 including VAT), taken off the bill if you go ahead. Bookings can be moved or cancelled free.
