Alloy wheel damage explained

Kerb rash, scuffs and the standard painted alloy

Most alloys on the road are painted and lacquered, and the classic damage is kerb rash — the scuffed, scraped edge you get from clipping a kerb while parking. On these wheels the repair is straightforward: the damaged area is sanded back, filled where needed to rebuild the profile, then primed, colour-matched and lacquered so the edge looks factory-fresh again. This is the bread-and-butter alloy job and is usually done mobile in a couple of hours per wheel.

Diamond-cut alloys are different

Diamond-cut wheels have a bright, machined face where the metal has been cut on a lathe and sealed under lacquer. You cannot just paint over a diamond-cut face and get the same look — restoring it properly means re-cutting the face on a specialist CNC lathe and re-lacquering. We offer diamond-cut refurbishment, but it is a different process to a standard painted wheel, so it is important to tell us which type you have (a photo makes it obvious to us).

Mobile repair vs a full refurb

A single kerbed wheel is ideal for a mobile visit. A full set of four, a colour change, or diamond-cut work is often better as a booked refurbishment where each wheel gets the full process. We will recommend whichever gives the best finish and value for your wheels rather than pushing everything down one route — sometimes that is mobile on the driveway, sometimes it is worth booking the set in.

How an alloy repair works

From photo to finished wheel, here is the typical path.

  1. 1

    Send a photo

    Show us the damage and, ideally, the wheel type. We confirm whether it is a standard or diamond-cut repair and give a guide price per wheel.

  2. 2

    Strip and rebuild the edge

    The kerb-damaged area is sanded back and any gouges are filled and reshaped so the wheel profile is restored.

  3. 3

    Colour match or re-cut

    Painted wheels are colour-matched and sprayed; diamond-cut faces are re-cut on a lathe to restore the machined look.

  4. 4

    Lacquer and cure

    A fresh lacquer coat is applied and cured for a durable, factory-level finish.

When This Repair Is Suitable

Almost all cosmetic alloy damage is repairable. A small number of wheels are safer replaced.

Great for

  • Kerb rash and scuffed wheel edges
  • Light scrapes and lacquer damage
  • Faded or peeling wheel paint
  • Diamond-cut faces that have gone dull or corroded
  • Colour changes and full sets of four

When we'll advise another route

  • Wheels that are cracked, buckled or bent (a safety issue)
  • Severe corrosion that has weakened the alloy
  • Structural damage from a pothole or heavy impact
  • Wheels where a specialist welder or replacement is the safer option

What You Can Expect to Pay

A guide to alloy wheel prices, charged per wheel. Sets and diamond-cut work are quoted individually.

  • Minor kerb scuff (per wheel)from £60
  • Standard painted refurb (per wheel)from £80
  • Diamond-cut refurb (per wheel)quoted individuallyDiamond-cut needs lathe re-cutting, so it is priced separately to painted wheels.
  • Full set of fourquoted per setDoing all four together is usually better value than one at a time.

Prices are a guide only and depend on wheel size, type and the extent of the damage. Send a photo for an exact, same-day quote.
