What we do

Every panel.
Every stage. In-house.

A proper workshop keeps the whole job in the building — pull, fill, weld, prep, paint, tune and finish. Nothing gets farmed out, so nothing gets lost in translation between trades.

Bay 01 / Body

Accident & Body Repairs

Collision damage, rust repairs and panel replacement — pulled, beaten and rebuilt properly, not just filled and hidden under fresh paint.

Bay 02 / Dents

Dent Removal

Car park dings, door creases and hail damage worked back out of the panel — keeping original paint where possible.

Bay 03 / Smart

Scratch & Bumper Repairs

Scuffed bumpers, key scratches and stone-chipped bonnets blended and refinished so you can't tell where the damage was.

Bay 04 / Paint

Resprays & Paint

Panel repaints, colour matching and full resprays laid down in a controlled environment — daily-driver tidy-ups to show-standard finishes.

Bay 05 / Alloys

Alloy Wheel Refurb

Kerbed, corroded or tired wheels stripped, blasted and powder coated — back on the car looking factory-fresh or better.

Bay 06 / Powder

Powder Coating

Chassis parts, frames, brackets and railings electrostatically coated and oven-cured — a finish far tougher than paint.

Bay 07 / Steel

Welding & MOT Repairs

Sills, floors, arches and chassis sections welded to standard — MOT corrosion failures repaired properly and photographed for your retest.

Bay 08 / Mech

Servicing & Diagnostics

Interim and full servicing plus proper diagnostics — warning lights and running faults traced to the cause, not just the code.

Bay 09 / Mods

Full Vehicle Modifications

Widebody kits, restorations and full builds — from a Mk1 shell in bare metal to a complete custom conversion.

Bay 10 / Climate

Air Con Servicing

Re-gas, leak detection and system checks — sorted before the warm weather catches you out.

Bay 11 / Fleet

Fleet Management

Scheduled servicing and repairs for vans and fleet vehicles, kept running with minimal time off the road.

Bay 12 / EV

EV & Hybrid Ready

Trained and equipped for electric and hybrid servicing, diagnostics and repair — not just the combustion stuff.

How a job runs

Damage in.
Showroom out.

Body repair lives or dies on what happens before the paint goes on. This is the sequence every job follows through the shop.

01

Assess

We look over the damage with you, agree the scope and give you a straight price before anything starts.

02

Strip back

Trim off, damage exposed. Stripping or blasting where rust is involved — you see exactly what you're dealing with.

03

Metalwork

Panels pulled, beaten and aligned; sections welded in where the metal is past saving. Proper repair, not just filler.

04

Prep

Filling, blocking, priming and masking. The unglamorous stage that decides whether the repair is invisible.

05

Paint

Colour matched and laid down in a controlled spray environment — or powder applied and oven-cured for hardware.

06

Finish

Flatted, polished, reassembled and inspected. Your car back looking like the damage never happened.

Inside the workshop

The paint booth.

Every respray and blend goes down in a purpose-built, filtered spray booth — not a corner of the workshop with a curtain across it. Controlled temperature, filtered airflow and colour-true lighting mean what you see on the gun is what you get on the panel.

  • Filtered, dust-controlled airflow

    Nothing landing in the paint while it's curing.

  • Colour-true lighting rig

    What you see on the gun is what you get on the panel.

  • Full bake cycle

    Factory-hard cure, not just left to air dry.

Our mechanics

More than bodywork.

The mechanical side of ADH covers a lot more ground than dents and paint. Full vehicle modifications, full and half services, restorations, spraying, air con servicing, accident repairs, welding, fleet management, and EV & hybrid ready diagnostics — and much more besides. If it's got wheels, there's a good chance we can sort it.

Who we are

Built in Gunn.
Trusted across North Devon.

ADH Customs is an independent body shop and refinishing workshop at Tree Beech Rural Enterprise Park — a few minutes outside Barnstaple, and worth the drive from anywhere in the county.

  • A full body shop under one roof

    Panel work, welding, prep, paint and powder in the same building — one point of contact from crash to collection.

  • Classics, customs & daily drivers

    From Mk1 shells taken back to bare metal to widebody conversions, alongside while-you-wait wheel refreshes.

  • Straight talk, straight prices

    You'll get an honest assessment and a clear quote before we lift a tool — and a call if anything changes.

  • Trade & retail welcome

    We handle regular work for local garages and fabricators as well as one-off jobs for private owners.

"A repair you can spot isn't a repair — it's a warning sign."

— ADH Customs, Est. 2022

Most bad bodywork fails underneath the paint — rushed filler, skipped primer, rust left in the seams. That's why every repair here starts with proper metalwork, and why we'd rather turn a job away than cut corners on it.

Bring the car down, or send us photos of the damage, and we'll tell you honestly what it needs — and what it doesn't.

What customers say

Word gets around.

★★★★★

Someone reversed into my door in a car park. ADH pulled the dent, matched the paint and you genuinely cannot see it ever happened.

Dent repair · Paint match
★★★★★

Failed the MOT on sills. Other places quoted silly money or wouldn't touch it. ADH welded it properly, showed me photos of the work, and it flew through retest.

MOT repair · Welding
★★★★★

Trusted them with a bare-metal restoration on a car I've owned twenty years. The paintwork is honestly better than factory. Can't recommend them enough.

Common questions

Before you ask.

How much will my body repair cost?

+

It depends entirely on the damage — a bumper scuff is a very different job to a creased quarter panel. Send us clear photos of the damage and your reg, and we'll give you a same-day estimate with no obligation. Insurance and private jobs both welcome.

Can you match my paint exactly?

+

Yes — we work from your paint code and blend into the surrounding panels, which is what makes a repair invisible rather than "close enough". Metallics, pearls and tri-coats included.

Can you take my shell or parts back to bare metal?

+

Yes — that's a speciality. Acid stripping for shells and delicate panels, media blasting for chassis parts, frames and heavier metalwork. You'll see exactly what you're working with before any repair or refinishing starts.

Do you do welding for MOT failures?

+

All the time. Sills, floors, arches, chassis sections — repaired to standard with photos of the completed work, so you can go back for retest with confidence.

Do you work for trade as well as the public?

+

Yes. We handle regular blasting and coating work for local garages, fabricators and agricultural businesses alongside retail jobs. Get in touch about trade rates for recurring work.

Where exactly are you?

+

Tree Beech Rural Enterprise Park in Gunn — about ten minutes east of Barnstaple, just off the A399 side of Goodleigh. There's easy parking and space to drop a trailer.
