Recladding & Body Repairs in Brisbane

Caravan recladding involves removing old external panels and fitting new ones to restore strength, appearance and weather resistance. It is often needed when the original cladding has become dented, corroded, sun-damaged or weakened by leaks. Fresh cladding helps protect the internal frame, improve insulation and extend the overall lifespan of the van.

Recladding can help resolve water damage, but only when paired with internal repairs. The process often requires removing panels, exposing the frame and identifying any rot, mould or weakened timber. Damaged sections are replaced before the new cladding is installed. This ensures the van is structurally sound and watertight rather than simply covered over.

Most modern recladding uses lightweight aluminium or composite panels designed for durability, weather resistance and secure bonding. These materials handle vibration, movement and outdoor exposure well. The choice depends on the van’s construction, desired appearance and long-term maintenance needs, with both smooth and ribbed profiles available for different styles.

Caravan painting involves preparing and recoating exterior surfaces to refresh appearance and protect against weather exposure. It is often needed when paint has faded, peeled or been damaged by sun, salt air or minor impacts. Proper preparation includes cleaning, sanding and repairing surface imperfections so the new coating bonds correctly and delivers a durable, even finish that helps preserve the van’s exterior.

Raptor coating is a tough, textured protective coating commonly used on caravans for added durability and impact resistance. It creates a hard-wearing surface that helps protect against stone chips, scratches, UV exposure and moisture. Many owners choose it for lower sections or full exteriors because it offers a rugged finish that is easier to maintain and well suited to off-road or frequent touring conditions.
