Alloy wheel refurbishment – Sussex, Surrey & Hampshire
Alloy Wheel Refurbishment
Kerbed. Corroded. Corrected.
Refurbished, refitted and back on the car at our Shoreham HQ.
From £120 +VAT per wheel, with next-day slots.
From minor kerb rash to complete colour changes, we bring alloys back to showroom condition at our HQ at Brighton City Airport in Shoreham-by-Sea. Fully insured, twenty years in, and honest about which of the two repairs your wheel actually needs.
Why bother
What a kerbed wheel really costs
It shows at valuation time
Scuffed, kerbed or corroded alloys knock real money off a car, and they are one of the first things a buyer or dealer looks at. If you are preparing a car for sale, the wheels are usually the highest-return fix on it.
The damage does not stay put
Once lacquer is broken, moisture gets underneath and corrosion creeps. A small kerb mark this year is a bubbling, flaking wheel next year – earlier is cheaper.
Bodywork needing attention too?
Scuffs, stone chips and scratched paint belong with our paint repair team – wheels and bodywork can be handled in the same visit.
Detailing standards, not bodyshop shortcuts
The same uniformed team, the same branded Mercedes Citan units, the same fussiness about finish that runs through everything else we do.
What it costs
The price guide, straight
Priced per wheel, and we will always tell you if the cheaper repair is the right one.
Smart Repair
For minor kerb damage, scuffs and scratches. The wheel is repaired and refinished in place, matched to the original colour, and back on the road the same day.
£120 +VAT per wheel.
Full Refurbishment
Complete restoration for heavily damaged or corroded wheels, and the route to a full colour change if you fancy something different to factory.
£150 +VAT per wheel.
Diamond Cut
Machined faces need re-cutting on a lathe, not painting over. We quote diamond cut work individually from your photos.

Photos first, always
A photo per wheel on WhatsApp gets you the right recommendation and a firm price before you drive anywhere. If a smart repair will do the job, we say so.
Next-day slots
Smart repairs can usually be fitted in next day, and a set of four is still a one-day job. Full refurbishments and colour changes book in for the 4 to 5 day turnaround.

Common questions
Straight answers
How much does alloy wheel refurbishment cost?
Smart repairs are £120 +VAT per wheel and full refurbishments are £150 +VAT per wheel. Diamond cut wheels need specialist lathe work, so we quote those individually from your photos. Send a photo per wheel on WhatsApp and the price comes back with the recommendation, usually within the hour.
How long does it take?
A smart repair is a one-day turnaround, and that includes a set of four. A full refurbishment – strip, repair, prime and repaint – takes 4 to 5 days, as does a colour change.
What is the difference between a smart repair and a full refurbishment?
A smart repair fixes minor kerb damage, scuffs and scratches in place, matched to the original finish. A full refurbishment strips the wheel back completely and rebuilds the finish from primer up – the right call for heavy damage, corrosion, or when you want a different colour.
Can you change the colour of my alloys?
Yes. A colour change is done as a full refurbishment, so the old finish comes off completely before the new colour goes on. £150 +VAT per wheel with a 4 to 5 day turnaround.
Can you refurbish diamond cut alloys?
Yes, at our HQ. The machined face has to be re-cut on a lathe rather than painted over, which is specialist work we quote individually. Send photos on WhatsApp and we will confirm whether the wheel has enough material left for another cut.
Where does the work happen?
At our HQ at Brighton City Airport in Shoreham-by-Sea, BN43 5QG – fully alarmed, insured and under CCTV. Book a slot through the form below or start with photos on WhatsApp.
Why do my kerbed wheels matter if the car drives fine?
Because broken lacquer lets moisture underneath and corrosion spreads, and because kerbed alloys are one of the first things a buyer or dealer prices down. Fixing them is one of the highest-return jobs before a sale.
