Accident work scaled to the caravan
Whole area inspected
We check adjoining corners and sections, not just the first visible mark.
Several finish options
Paintwork can range from small correction to a complete respray.
Dimensions planned early
We use caravan size and damage position to prepare workshop access.
Looking beyond the first impact mark
A caravan accident can leave one clear scrape while damage spreads into a corner, seam or neighbouring section. We inspect the visible body, adjoining exterior and shaped edges before defining the job. The impact point, cracking, distortion and loss of finish all influence what must happen next. Small areas may need a focused painted repair, while broader damage can require several sections to be restored together. Our caravan accident repair process keeps body shape and paint planning connected, preventing refinishing from starting before the exterior has been put right.
The right paint response for the damage
Once cracks, dents and distortion have been repaired, we smooth and prepare the surface for its new finish. Options can range from a touch-up or small painted section to wider accident refinishing or a full respray, depending on the spread and condition of the existing paint. We mix colour onsite and use our 10m x 4m x 4m booth for controlled application. Caravan dimensions and the damaged area affect access and scheduling, so we discuss size, transport and workshop positioning before confirming arrangements.
Frequently asked questions
Does accident damage always mean a full caravan respray?
No. A touch-up, local painted repair or refinishing of selected sections may be enough where damage is contained. A full respray is considered when the impact or existing finish makes a wider approach more suitable. We assess this before quoting.
Why do you inspect areas beside the obvious damage?
Impact can spread force into corners, seams and adjoining panels even when the first scrape draws your attention. Checking the wider area helps us find cracking, movement or distortion that should be repaired before paint is applied.
What should I send with a caravan accident enquiry?
Include the make, model, dimensions and photographs showing both close views and the wider side or corner. Tell us whether the caravan can be moved safely and whether an insurer is involved, so we can discuss assessment and handover requirements.
