Body Shop Needed

[theapples]

Hi as a result of a rear offside tyre shredding on the motorway I have damage to the rear bumper and mud guard trim (Both plastic). Can anyone recommend a body shop that does motorhome repairs in the Bristol area.
Thanks

Oh dear , well pretty much any bodyshop will undertake the job , take a look on the internet . I'm afraid , i can't advise on any one particular company as i'm not local , and the chances are i'd do it myself anyway .
If the damage is significant , replacement rather than repair , maybe the best course of action , but be prepared , either way it will be expensive .
I would suggest a replace , and paint will probably cost , close on a grand . A repair and paint would be around half that , however it's unlikely this would be undertaken unless the damage is slight . Automotive plastic is not like your everyday plastic , at best it is difficult to repair . It's not impossible for the repair to fail , requiring further attention , and as any company would likely offer a guarantee , maybe you can understand why they would follow the other route . Oh and i'm also sorry , these are only estimates of what i'd expect to pay , in this area , with me doing the donkey work myself on my , 2000 hymer .
I'd certainly advise getting in touch with 3 different companies for quotes , and try and see some of their completed work .

I'm sorry , i can't be anymore positive .

My guess is most body shops will have no interest in getting involved with this type of repair.
Personally I would go to someone who specialises in plastic or fibreglass repairs.
This company has been used by several different people who are very happy with the service
