Fast, cost-effective dent removal without repainting
Paintless Dent Removal (PDR) in Wickford, Essex
Paint Medic provides professional paintless dent removal in Wickford Essex, offering fast, cost-effective PDR without repainting. PDR is a skilled technique used to remove dents where the paintwork is still intact — allowing the damage to be repaired without repainting.
With over 30 years of experience and City & Guilds training, we restore your panels safely and effectively using specialist PDR tooling and controlled repair techniques. PDR is ideal for small to medium dents caused by door impacts, shopping trolleys, hail, or low-speed bumps.
What Is PDR and When Can It Be Used?
Paintless Dent Removal works by gently massaging the dent from behind the panel or by using glue-pulling techniques when direct access isn’t possible.
PDR is suitable for dents where:
The paint is not cracked, chipped or broken
The dent hasn’t stretched the metal too far
There is access behind the panel
The dent is small to medium in size
The damage is smooth, not sharp or creased (in most cases)
If your dent is larger or involves damaged paint, we also offer traditional dent repair and refinishing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does PDR work on all dents?
No — dents with cracked paint, sharp creases or metal stretching may require traditional repair.
How long does PDR take?
Most repairs take between 1–3 hours depending on size and complexity.
Is PDR cheaper than standard dent repair?
Yes — because no repainting or materials are required, PDR is usually more cost-effective.
Will the dent be completely invisible afterwards?
In most cases, yes. If perfect PDR results aren’t achievable, we will advise the best alternative.
Can you remove dents on bodylines?
Often yes, depending on depth, sharpness and paint condition.
