Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can panel beaters fix plastic bumpers?

    Yes, panel beaters can repair plastic bumpers, although the process differs from repairing metal panels. Many modern vehicles are fitted with thermoplastic or thermoset bumpers, which require heat reshaping, plastic welding, or the use of fillers and resins to restore their original form. Small cracks, dents or abrasions can often be repaired without needing a full replacement, while severely damaged bumpers may need to be replaced entirely. After the repair, the bumper is sanded, primed and repainted to match the rest of the vehicle. Whether a bumper can be repaired or must be replaced depends on the material, the location of the damage, and the extent of the impact.

  • What tools do panel beaters use?

    Panel beaters use a combination of traditional hand tools and modern machinery. Common tools include dollies, panel beating hammers, body files, sanders, and grinders. For more complex work, they may use hydraulic jacks, frame straightening benches, spot welders, pulling towers, and measuring systems to realign structural components. For plastic repairs, tools like heat guns, plastic welders, and adhesive kits are used. In addition, panel beaters often collaborate with spray painters and rely on paintless dent removal tools for certain jobs. The goal is always to reshape the panel as closely as possible to its original form before refinishing.

  • Is it better to repair or replace a damaged panel?

    The decision to repair or replace a panel depends on the severity, location and type of damage, as well as cost and safety factors. Minor dents, surface scratches or shallow deformations can often be repaired with tools like dollies, hammers or paintless dent removal systems. However, panels with severe creasing, rust, tears, or stretched metal may be too compromised to repair effectively or safely. In those cases, replacement is usually the better option, especially for structural components or crumple zones. Some insurers also prefer replacement if the cost of repair exceeds a certain threshold. A professional panel beater will assess the damage and explain which option is more viable.
