Frequently asked questions

Can't find your answer? Call us on 01522 468109 - we're happy to advise before you book.

How long does a full wheel refurbishment take?

Most sets of four are turned around in 48 hours from drop-off. Wheels needing weld repairs or unusual colours can take a little longer - we'll give you a firm timescale when we quote, and we'll always call if anything changes.

How much does alloy wheel refurbishment cost?

As a guide, a full strip and powder coat starts from £75 per wheel up to 20". Larger diameters, split rims and weld repairs are quoted individually - crack weld repair starts from £90 per wheel. Send us a photo and you'll have a firm price the same day.

Can you repair cracked or buckled wheels?

Yes - cracks are TIG-welded by a qualified welder and buckles are straightened and checked true before refinishing. We'll always inspect first and tell you honestly if a wheel is beyond safe repair.

Do I need to leave the car with you?

No. Most customers drop just the wheels off, but if the car needs to stay we can usually accommodate it - mention it when you book. We can also supply and fit tyres while the wheels are with us.

What colours can I choose?

Almost anything. We stock the popular silvers, greys, blacks and bronzes, and can order virtually any RAL or match your factory colour. Have a look at the colour range page, or pop in to see coated sample wheels.

Is powder coating better than wet spray?

For durability, yes. Powder is applied electrostatically and oven-baked, so it's harder-wearing and more chip- and salt-resistant than paint - the right choice for UK roads.

Is the finish guaranteed?

Every refurbishment carries a 1-year guarantee against peeling, bubbling and corrosion under the finish. Kerb your wheel again and that's not covered - but we'll fix it at a fair price.

Do you refit and balance the tyres?

Yes - removal, refitting with new valves, balancing and torquing to spec are all included in a full refurbishment. TPMS sensors are handled carefully and re-checked before the wheels go back on.

Still not sure?

Send us a photo of the damage and we'll tell you straight what it needs.
