About Ericraft

A small, family-run body shop in Smallfield. We repair cars and vans, and we like to tell people the truth about their repair.

Who we are

Ericraft is a family-run car body shop at Unit 6, 100 Redehall Road, Smallfield, near Horley in Surrey. We have been repairing cars and vans for more than ten years.

We do the work you would expect from a body shop: dents, scratches, scuffed and cracked bumpers, kerbed alloy wheels, cloudy headlights, rust, paintwork and accident damage. We paint in our own spray booth. Customers come to us from Horley, Crawley, Redhill, Reigate, East Grinstead, Gatwick and the villages around.

How we like to work

  • Photos first. Send a photo and we will tell you what we think it needs. For many jobs that is enough to give you a price.
  • A price before work starts. You know the cost before we begin. If we find more damage once the panel is off, we tell you before we carry on.
  • Repair where it makes sense. Many dents, scuffs and cracked bumpers can be repaired. When a part has to be replaced, we say why.
  • Plain advice. If a polish will do the job, we will tell you, even if it means a smaller bill.

The workshop

The paint is mixed to suit your car, and sprayed in a booth where dust, temperature and humidity are controlled. We work on private cars, older cars, prestige cars and light vans, and we look after fleet vehicles too.
