The alloy wheel repair process — step by step
Full transparency on exactly what happens from the moment you get in touch to the moment we hand back the keys.
- 1
Assess the damage
We check whether it's cosmetic (fixable in-house) or structural (needs a specialist).
- 2
Mask & sand
The damaged area is masked off, sanded back and filled where needed.
- 3
Prime & colour match
Primer applied, then a colour-matched basecoat sprayed to blend with the rest of the wheel.
- 4
Lacquer & cure
Two coats of lacquer sealed on and heat-cured with an infrared lamp.
- 5
Polish
Fine polish for a factory-style finish.

Everything included with your alloy wheel repair
No hidden extras, no vague pricing. Here's exactly what you get, what we bring, what to have ready and what happens afterwards.
- Damage assessment (cosmetic vs structural)
- Masking, sanding and filling of the damaged area
- Primer and colour-matched basecoat
- Two coats of lacquer, infrared heat-cured
- Final polish for a factory-style finish
- Colour-match spray system (silvers, gunmetals, blacks, diamond-cut alternatives)
- Infrared heat-cure lamp in our wheel bay
- Automotive-grade filler and lacquer
- Photos of the damage by email so we can quote accurately
- The car booked in for a half-day slot
- Fresh kerb scuff you want fixed before it corrodes
- White or grey oxidation showing through the finish
- Small dent on the rim edge (we'll assess whether it's safe to repair)
Kerbed alloys look scruffy and hurt resale value — but more importantly, deep scuffs can start slow air leaks around the bead. A proper in-workshop cosmetic repair is a fraction of the cost of a full refurb elsewhere.
- Leave the wheel undisturbed for 4 hours after collection — lacquer needs to fully harden
- Avoid pressure washers for the first 7 days
Can you repair a cracked or heavily bent alloy?+
Structural damage — cracks, big bends, splits — needs a specialist welding shop. We'll tell you honestly if a repair is safe or not.
Do you match diamond-cut wheels?+
We can spray a close painted match at our shop. A true diamond-cut restoration needs a lathe at a specialist — we can arrange that too if needed.
