STOP THE MONEY PIT!

When rust hits the chassis, it's not just paintwork. You lose time, money, and vehicle value.





MOT Failure's: Chassis Criticals

​Corrosion in structural areas is a significant cause of van MOT failures, with roughly 18% of failures linked to issues with body, chassis or structure (tyrepress.com, 2024).


​It’s typically found on the main rails, sills, and suspension mounting points, and spreads like wildfire.

Once rot is found in these key areas, it’s a non-negotiable MOT failure that demands expensive, time-consuming welding repairs.


That’s a loss of working time, money, and vehicle value.


​We locate and eliminate these critical failure points before they even being to compromise the metal, securing your MOT success for years to come.

Heavy Load Stress Points

Vans and camper conversions place constant, intense pressure on key areas like suspension arms, bump stops, and mounting brackets.

This continuous flexing causes standard, rigid factory underseal to crack, flake away, and chip rapidly.

Bare metal is then fully exposed to Scotland's harsh road salt and grit.


Our protective coating is specially formulated to be flexible and tenacious.

It moves perfectly with the chassis, ensuring protection remains intact on all these high-stress areas.

Hidden Enemy: Inside Out Rust

Chassis box sections are designed to release moisture through small drain holes, but these often get clogged, leaving moisture with no way of escaping.


This water simply cannot evaporate once trapped.

Factory seal cracks allow water to enter, and corrosion then spreads aggressively from the inside out.

This decay is completely hidden from view during normal inspections.


Solution: We first clean the exterior, then we apply professional, heavy-duty cavity wax inside the rails.

This stops the catastrophic internal spread for good.

Protecting Conversion Value

​​

If you have a converted camper, the structural integrity of the chassis underneath supports everything.

This includes your expensive interior, cabinets, appliances, and insulation.

A rusted chassis makes even a valuable, high-spec interior build worthless overnight.


Do not let a major investment be compromised by structural failure.


Protect the foundation to preserve the entire value of your asset.

Proper Prep: Why We Blast

Simply coating over existing rust or old seal traps moisture underneath, silently accelerating corrosion.

 

We never use that shortcut. We utilize a range of specialised blasting techniques (including Dry Ice, Media, and Vapour) to match the exact needs of your vehicle and corrosion level.

This powerful, non-abrasive approach gently removes every contaminant and old coating.

Superior preparation is essential for achieving the perfectly clean metal surface required for a truly long-lasting protective coating adhesion.

Invest In Longevity. Save Thousands

Preventative protection is always the most cost-effective decision you can make.

It ensures your van or camper maintains its maximum resale value and stays reliably on the road..

We provide the expertise you need to secure your investment for the long term.
