Alloy wheel restoration — assessment required

Have cosmetic wheel damage assessed properly

Kerb rash, surface scratches and cosmetic wear can be assessed and treated where the wheel is structurally sound. The scope, finish and price are confirmed before any work begins.

The assessment and process

  1. 01

    Assess the damage

    Inspect the wheel to confirm the damage is cosmetic and the wheel is structurally sound.

  2. 02

    Confirm finish & method

    Identify the existing finish and confirm a compatible repair approach.

  3. 03

    Prepare & repair

    Prepare the surface and carry out the agreed cosmetic repair.

  4. 04

    Refinish & protect

    Refinish to match and apply a protective finish where suitable.

Scope and boundaries

Within cosmetic scope

  • Kerb rash and scuffed edges
  • Surface scratches and cosmetic wear
  • Refinishing to match the existing finish

Needs a qualified specialist

  • Structural cracks or buckles
  • Bent or out-of-round wheels
  • Safety-critical or structural damage

Pricing approach

Pricing is per wheel. We confirm whether wheel removal is involved, the finish compatibility and any minimum call-out. We show approved consumer totals with unit and mandatory charges — we do not assume live starting figures are commercially validated, and we do not invent fixed durations or warranty terms.

Preparation and aftercare

We confirm the work location — mobile or workshop — and whether wheel removal is required. We do not promise an invisible repair, and we do not promise mobile delivery where a workshop environment is needed. At handover we explain any curing time and suitable cleaning for the refinished surface.
