Professional Vehicle Refinishing for Trade, Fleet & Insurance Overflow

Glisten Valeting & Refinishing Services, owned and operated by Mark Hartley, provides fast-turnaround, non-structural paint and body repairs for hire companies, leasing firms, fleet operators, vehicle dealers and insurance-based bodyshops requiring reliable local overflow capacity.

Operating from a dedicated fixed spray facility in Hull, we specialise in keeping vehicles on the road, minimising downtime, and helping businesses avoid unnecessary insurance claims and excess costs.

Fully insured, IMI Level 3 qualified and trading since 2012, we are set up for volume, repeat and contract work rather than one-off retail jobs.


⁠Who We Work With

  • Car & van hire companies
  • Lease & contract hire providers
  • Fleet operators & commercial vehicle fleets
  • Used car dealers & vehicle supermarkets
  • Main dealer bodyshops (overflow sub-contracting)
  • Independent accident repair centres


If a vehicle is non-structural, we can usually repair it faster and at a lower cost than insurance-led methods.


What we specialise In
(All non-structural cosmetic and panel repairs)

  • Deep scratches & key damage
  • Panel dents & creases
  • Full panel resprays
  • Multi-panel blend work
  • Bumper scuffs & plastic repairs
  • Alloy wheel refurbishment
  • Door edge & arch corrosion
  • End-of-lease damage rectification
  • Pre-auction & pre-sale refurbishment
  • Fleet cosmetic maintenance programmes


Structural accident repairs (Category C / S) are intentionally excluded – allowing us to focus on speed, consistency, safety and commercial turnaround.

Fixed Spray Facility Advantage

All work is completed within our controlled spray environment in Hull, offering:

  • Consistent professional finishes
