After a slight misjudgement of space, we managed to do some damage to the GRP bodywork and plastic wheel spat on our MH. Didn't really want to try to fix it ourselves coz the MH is less than 3 years old and so we wanted an invisible repair. Asked the local dealers - they wanted well north of £2k to do it, same kind of price from a few boat yards we contacted. Finally found a small bodywork specialist in Havant who did it for just over £800 - and they've done a great job, you really can't see it at all now.

So if anyone is looking for bodywork repairs and you're within reach of Havant, then I can really recommend these guys: http://carbodyguard.co.uk (y) I'd definitely be happy to use them again...though I hope I don't have to!

I have been caravanning for 32 years but in 2014 I have"gone over to the dark side"
The dealer would only farm it out anyway.....adding a sizable chunk over and above what the bodyshop charge them.

So very true!! :)

That's a really good job! I will remember them, although I hope I never need them! :D

Since 2008 & many years tugging
When I crunched my front end had quotes up to £1500.
I got a boat repair guy at Birdham mariner not that far from Havant to do the work, £550 and a perfect job. Can't even see where the repair has been done on the back side of the GRP.
