Alloy Wheel Repair and Refurbishment for Stoke-on-Trent Drivers

Kerbed, corroded, buckled or cracked alloy wheels? Vantom Automotive repairs and refurbishes alloy wheels for drivers across Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme. All refurbishment work is done in-house at our specialist workshop in Congleton, just over the Cheshire border, and we also bring mobile crack and buckle repair to you anywhere in Stoke-on-Trent.

We're a dedicated wheel workshop, not a quick touch-up service. Wheels are stripped back to bare metal, properly repaired, powder coated or diamond cut, then refitted and balanced. That's why our refurbishments come with a 12-month warranty.


Our Alloy Wheel Services and Prices

  • Powder coated alloy wheel refurbishment: £90 per wheel, or £360 for four
  • Diamond cut alloy wheel refurbishment: £144 per wheel, or £576 for four
  • Alloy wheel crack repair (TIG welding): £96 per crack
  • Buckled wheel repair: £96 per wheel, often while you wait
  • Mobile crack and buckle repair in Stoke-on-Trent: £96 per repair plus a call-out

Next-day turnaround is standard for refurbishments. Same-day powder coating can be arranged in advance. We handle wheels up to 23 inches.


How We Refurbish Alloy Wheels

  1. Wheels are removed from the car and the tyres are taken off.
  2. Each wheel is acid dipped back to bare metal and inspected for hidden damage.
  3. Kerb damage, buckles and cracks are repaired or welded.
  4. The wheel is sandblasted to give the coating a clean surface to grip.
  5. A three-stage powder coat (primer, colour and lacquer) is applied and oven cured.
  6. If you've chosen a diamond cut finish, the face is machined on our in-house CNC lathe.
  7. Tyres are refitted, wheels are balanced and refitted to your car.

Taking the tyres off and stripping to bare metal matters. It lets us find corrosion and cracks that would otherwise be painted over, and it's what makes the finish last.


Cracked or Buckled Wheel in Stoke-on-Trent?

Potholes are one of the most common causes of buckled and cracked alloy wheels. Signs include a steering wobble, vibration at certain speeds, or a tyre that keeps losing pressure.

We can repair suitable buckles and cracks at our Congleton workshop, or our mobile alloy wheel repair service in Stoke-on-Trent can come to your home or workplace. Every wheel is inspected first. If a crack is in a spoke or near the hub, or the damage is too severe, we'll tell you honestly that the wheel should be replaced.
