Expert Alloy Wheel Refurbishment & Repair

It depends on the finish and the condition of the wheels. A standard painted or powder-coated refurb costs less than diamond cutting, which needs machining; a single kerbed wheel costs less than a full set; and heavy corrosion or buckle repair adds to the work. Rather than quote a figure that turns out to be wrong, we look at your wheels — in person or from clear photos — and give you a straight, itemised price with no obligation. See what affects the cost of refurbishment, or get in touch for a quote on your set.

Most full sets are turned around in two to three working days, depending on the finish and how busy the workshop is. A single kerb repair is often quicker, and a mobile cosmetic touch-up can be same-day. Diamond cutting takes a little longer because each wheel is machined individually. We'll give you a realistic timescale when we quote, and keep you off the road for as little time as possible.

Diamond cutting is a finish where the face of the wheel is machined on a precision lathe to give that bright, two-tone, factory look — a painted base with the machined metal face cut back over it and sealed with lacquer. It's a premium finish, but a wheel can only be cut a limited number of times before too much metal is removed, so we always check how many cuts yours have left and tell you honestly before we start. If a wheel is at the end of its cutting life, powder coating is often the better long-term choice.

Sometimes — and safety comes first. We can straighten many buckled rims caused by potholes and kerbs, and we assess every wheel properly before doing so. Cracks are different: a crack in a load-bearing part of the wheel can be dangerous, and we will not refinish a wheel we don't believe is safe to put back on the road. If a wheel should be replaced rather than repaired, we'll tell you straight rather than take the work.

Both can look excellent. Powder coating applies the colour as a dry powder that's then baked on, which gives a thicker, tougher, more even finish that stands up well to brake dust, road salt, and everyday knocks — ideal for daily drivers and winter wheels. Wet painting allows certain custom finishes and is part of the diamond-cut process. We'll recommend whichever suits how you use the car rather than upselling by default.

Yes, for the right jobs. Cosmetic kerb scuffs and minor edge damage can often be repaired at your home or workplace. Full refurbishments, colour changes, diamond cutting, and any structural repair need the workshop, where we can strip, treat, and properly finish the wheel. If you're not sure which your wheels need, send us a photo and we'll tell you honestly. We also offer free collection and delivery in our area.

Absolutely. Colour change is one of the most popular jobs we do — gunmetal, satin or gloss black, bronze, silver, or a custom shade to match or contrast with your car. We refinish the full set to a consistent colour and seal it so it lasts. It's one of the cheapest ways to completely change the look of a car.

In most cases, yes. Kerb scuffs are filled, reprofiled, and refinished so the edge looks straight again, and surface corrosion — the white furry oxidation common on older alloys — is stripped back and sealed before the new finish goes on. Deep corrosion that has eaten into the metal is assessed individually; we'll tell you what's achievable before we start rather than promise a perfect result we can't deliver.

We refurbish alloy wheels for customers across Shropshire and the West Midlands, including Telford, Shrewsbury, Newport, Bridgnorth, Wolverhampton, Stafford, and the surrounding towns. Wheels can be dropped at the workshop, collected, or — for cosmetic repairs — sorted on a mobile visit. See the areas we cover for more.

Yes. We're fully insured, and our refurbishment work is backed by a 12-month guarantee against defects in the finish. Wheels live a hard life on the road, so the guarantee covers our workmanship rather than fresh kerb damage — but if something isn't right with the finish we've applied, we'll put it right. You'll find more about how we work on our about page.

Send us a few clear photos of your wheels — close-ups of any kerb damage, corrosion, or cracks — along with the make and model of your car, and we'll give you a price. Prefer to talk it through? Give us a call or use the contact form and we'll take it from there.
