Decent bodyshop in Essex (Southend/Rayleigh area)

[Daryl87]

Afternoon guys and girls,

I am looking for a bodyshop around Essex, preferably in or near Rayleigh.
Looking at repairing and respraying a bonnet, as well as a rear passenger door.

Any suggestions of who to talk to on here or if anyone knows of a decent, reasonably priced place, please let me know.

Cheers,
Daryl

Hey, I had some work done on my old clio in Leigh, just by Thames Drive (near the Tesco petrol station). It wasnt the cheapest but they did a good job on it. Had my front bumper done and a couple of dents knocked out. I cant remember what theyre called but i can get you a picture of where it is if you want?

MagpieV6 had some work done down here on her BG182 I think. She may be able to help point you in the right direction too.

A bit of a trek for you, but C.L. Panelcraft in Braintree are very good, but not cheap. There is one in Maldon that Rob with the R26r highly rated but I can't remember their name right now.

Ps. as your respraying the bonnet, perfect opportunity to practice a little wet sanding

Colour tone in Basildon iirc. Evil Giraffe knows of them too.

I've heard pf Colour Tone being good actually I'll have to look them up. Jane I'll have a look at the old google street maps unless you know the exact area? That would be helpful cheers.

Also, I got a quote from a company in Basildon off Pound Lane - Bonnet dent and respray, plus rear passenger door dent and respray, spraying the front door and blending the front quarter was £620... anyone care to guide me on price? It is just a 1.2 after all, but want it back to former glory

Cheers for the help by the way guys and girls, really appreciate it
