Rust Repair & Panel Fabrication
Corroded sections are cut out and fresh metal welded in, then sealed and refinished. We also fabricate panels for older vehicles where replacement parts are no longer manufactured.
What every rust repair & fabrication job covers.
The scope you can expect when the car is booked in for this specific work.
Cutting out rusted metal back to sound material
MIG welding fresh steel into sills, arches and floor sections
Fabrication of small panels and patches for out-of-production vehicles
Seam sealing and underbody protection over repaired areas
Refinishing of repaired sections to match the surrounding paint
How we actually do it.
Rust spreads under paint before it ever shows through it, so the cut line isn’t where the bubble is — it’s wherever the metal actually reads clean and solid, confirmed panel by panel as we go. Cutting back too little just buys the same repair again in two years.
Fresh steel is MIG-welded in and dressed flush, then sealed properly — inside and out — before refinishing, because a rust repair that isn’t sealed underneath is just a rust repair that hasn’t come back yet.
The steps, in order.
What actually happens between dropping the car off and picking it back up.
Cut back
The corroded area is opened up and cut back until the surrounding metal is clean and sound.
Weld in
A shaped patch or fabricated panel is welded into place and dressed flush.
Seal and refinish
Seams are sealed, the area is primed and painted, and underbody protection is reapplied where needed.
Bring the car in if any of this sounds familiar.
Bubbling paint at the bottom of a door, arch or sill
Rot along a floor pan, boot floor or inner wheel arch
An older or classic vehicle where a replacement panel is no longer sold
Preparing a car for a safety inspection where corrosion is a concern
What people usually ask before booking.
Is it worth repairing rust, or should I just replace the panel?
Depends how far it’s spread and whether a replacement panel still exists. We’ll open it up, show you what’s underneath, and give you an honest answer either way.
Can you fabricate a panel that isn’t made anymore?
Yes — for older vehicles we shape and weld in a patch or full panel from sheet steel to match the original.
Will the repair just rust again?
Not if it’s sealed properly. Every repair is sealed inside and out before refinishing, which is the step that actually stops rust coming back.
