Any chance of a reliable Bodyshop in the Chesterfield area?

My VW T25 needs a couple of bits of bodywork doing before I put it up for sale. I've been stung so many times with painters that I'm really hesitant to even bother anymore, but on the off chance that someone knows a painter near me that's reliable, I might just get it done, otherwise it's going up for sale as it is with £500 knocked off the price.

 

It also looks like I've bought another T25 now, which will at some point need a wheel arch replacing and a respray -  Not for a while as the sale of the first van will pay for this.

 

But, again, I'm so loathe to let anyone else at it that I'm considering hiring a bloody unit and doing it myself because I'd rather spend 3 weeks sanding and filling my lungs with isocyanides than dealing with excuses from the painters I already know!

 

So does anyone know someone reliable? I don't want to pay a fortune, but on the other hand I don't expect a "2 bucket wrongun" new car finish, just something that's appreciably better than I could have done myself, done within weeks rather than months.

Try Jack Ellis at Lower Pilsley. Not cheap but does a good job.

Like all body shops though you have to be precise with your requirements!

That looks more or less like the kind of place I'm after, cheers, I'll dig the van out and pop over there one day.

Used to be a bloke in Creswell called jack I think on the little trading estate but he was nuts so may no,longer be there.

 

He did a decent job on my Delta at the right price.
