I'm using them to remove some dents on the alloy fuel tank of my Triton.  They quoted me £265 after looking at some photos I sent them.  They also advise they can repair leaks in tanks so maybe what you need?
I will be sending my tank to them this week.

I’ve used Andy on a couple of occasions now, and his work is excellent.

Initially, the price quoted doesn’t seem cheap - but compared to the cost of a repaint, it’s often a bargain.

Check out this K2 750 tank dent....

Andy in Pickering quoted me £140 +VAT to take a dent out of my 750 tank. Supposed to be one of the best there is and as JamesH says not that bad when you consider the cost and hassle of a repaint. If you drop off it's a lovely area to visit too (well it is Yorkshire after all  ;D) and you could drop in at Mathewsons and see the stars of the TV programme 'Bangers & Cash'  :D

My car was damaged in a hailstorm ( golf ball sized ) several hundred dents and a company called Dentmasters repaired back to dentfree without breaking the paint cost £4K mind you,wonder if they’d do dents on fuel tanks?

Oggie400F:
Finally got the tank from my b.i.l. Who has been unsuccessful in finding a repairer in the Northampton area.
Hear are some pics of the corrosion.  Any suggestions on repair methods would be appreciated.
I do have an option of taking it to a welder in Knottingly (Russell who welded my 400/4 collector box).
He has repaired tanks in the past.
Cheers
Ian
