Paintless Dent Removal – Langley Moor, near Durham

At Fred Henderson, we offer specialist paintless dent repair (PDR) through our dedicated division, The Dent Master. This means you get focused dent repair expertise without being passed on to an external bodyshop — and without your car needing a respray.

The Dent Master is led by David Henderson, who brings a wealth of PDR experience and hail repair claim management.

What is paintless dent repair?

Paintless dent repair is a technique that removes dents and dings from your vehicle’s bodywork without touching the paint. No fillers, no sanding, no repainting — just the dent gone and your original factory finish preserved.

Compared to traditional bodyshop repairs, PDR is:

• Faster — most repairs completed in a fraction of the time
• More cost-effective — no paint or materials costs
• Better for your car’s value — original paintwork is retained throughout
• Cleaner — no chemicals, no mess, no curing time

Dent repair services we offer

• Car park dents and minor door damage
• Panel dents and creases
• Larger dents where PDR is suitable
• Multi-panel dent damage

Not every dent is suitable for PDR — if yours isn’t, we’ll tell you honestly rather than attempt a repair that won’t give you the right result.

Hail damage repair

Hail can leave dozens of dents across multiple panels in one event. PDR is particularly well-suited to hail damage because the same technique that works on a single dent scales to multiple panels — without requiring the car to be resprayed. We can assess the full extent of the damage and restore your vehicle to its original condition.
