How Much Does Paintless Dent Repair Really Cost in 2026?
If you’ve searched for a price before booking a dent repair, you’ll know the honest answer is: it depends. At Dent Remover in Beverley, every quote is built using MTRX estimating software, which looks at the dent’s size, depth, panel material and whether it sits on a bodyline before a price is given. As a rough guide, small dings start from around £90, medium dents typically start from £250, and complex or specialist repairs — deep creases, stretched panels, vandalism damage — start from £450, with VAT added on top.
Why the range? Two dents that look almost identical from the outside can need completely different approaches once you look at what’s happening behind the panel. A dent over a strengthening box section or sound-deadening pad takes longer to access than one on an open door skin, and that extra time is reflected in the quote.
The good news is that PDR is almost always cheaper, and much faster, than a traditional bodyshop respray — no filler, no paint, no blending labour. And if you’ve got more than one dent, Dent Remover offers discounts for multi-panel jobs, so it’s worth getting everything looked at in one visit rather than booking separately.

Common Questions
Answers to the questions we hear most often about this topic.
Q: How much does a dent repair cost?
Pricing is bespoke to each repair because no two dents are the same. As a guide on base prices: small dents typically run from £90+, medium dents from £250+, and large, complex or specialist repairs from £450+. Prices are subject to inspection. VAT is added to the final price of all repairs.
Q: Why can’t I get an exact price over the phone?
The final cost depends on factors that can only be assessed in person: the dent’s depth and size in millimetres, whether it’s on a bodyline, the panel material, whether it’s accessible from behind, whether parts need to be stripped for access, and whether glue-pull or shrinking tools are needed. A photo or video helps give an initial idea, but a workshop inspection gives the accurate price.
Q: How is the repair price actually calculated?
Dent Remover uses MTRX (Mobile Tech RX) estimating software, which factors in the dent’s size, whether it crosses a bodyline or is a crease repair, and whether glue-pulling or metal-shrinking tools are required, then produces a fair, itemised price that’s emailed to you.
