Body and Trim Services, Cumbria

At Barton Townley, we understand that your vehicle’s body and trim are more than just aesthetics—they are essential to safety, comfort, and overall driving experience. From repairing dents to restoring interiors, body and trim services ensure your car looks great and functions as intended. This page explores the importance of body and trim care, the range of services available, and why professional expertise makes all the difference.

Why Body and Trim Care Matters

Your vehicle’s body protects passengers, houses mechanical components, and contributes to aerodynamics. Trim elements, both interior and exterior, enhance comfort, usability, and style. Over time, wear, accidents, or environmental factors can damage these features. Addressing issues promptly not only improves appearance but also preserves value and safety.

Common Body and Trim Services

1. Dent and Scratch Repairs

Minor dents and scratches are inevitable. Professional repair techniques, such as paintless dent removal or refinishing, restore panels to their original condition without compromising structural integrity.

2. Panel Replacement

Severely damaged panels may require replacement. Skilled technicians ensure new panels fit seamlessly, maintaining both safety and aesthetics.

3. Paint Restoration and Refinishing

Faded or chipped paint affects appearance and exposes metal to corrosion. Services include colour matching, respraying, and protective coatings to restore a flawless finish.

4. Bumper Repairs

Bumpers absorb impact and protect the vehicle. Repairs may involve reshaping, repainting, or replacing damaged bumpers to ensure safety and style.

5. Interior Trim Repairs

Interior trim includes dashboards, door panels, and consoles. Repairs address cracks, fading, or wear, restoring comfort and functionality.

6. Upholstery Services

Seats and fabric surfaces endure daily use. Upholstery repairs or replacements improve comfort, appearance, and hygiene, whether for cloth, leather, or synthetic materials.

7. Headliner Repairs

The headliner, or ceiling fabric, can sag or stain over time. Repair or replacement restores a clean, professional interior look.

8. Window and Glass Repairs

Chipped or cracked glass compromises safety and visibility. Services include repairing minor chips or replacing windscreens and windows.

9. Trim Replacement

Exterior trim, such as mouldings and badges, can fade or break. Replacement restores the vehicle’s original design and protects against water ingress.

10. Rust Treatment

Rust weakens structural components and spreads quickly. Treatments include sanding, sealing, and repainting to prevent further damage.

11. Alignment and Fitment Adjustments

Doors, bonnets, and boot lids must align properly to close securely. Adjustments ensure smooth operation and prevent water leaks.

12. Lighting Repairs

Headlights, taillights, and interior lights are vital for safety. Repairs or replacements restore visibility and compliance with regulations.

13. Detailing Services

Detailing enhances both body and trim. Services include polishing, cleaning, and protective treatments to maintain a showroom-quality finish.

• Visible dents, scratches, or rust

• Faded or chipped paint
