Chrome & polished wheel repair

Polished and chrome wheels show every kerb mark, and once the surface lifts, corrosion spreads under it quickly. Our chrome polished wheel repair starts with your photo, and we reply within 24 hours with what your wheel needs and the finishes open to you.

Why polished and chrome wheels need a different approach

A painted wheel hides small marks under colour and lacquer. A polished or chrome wheel is all surface shine, so a scrape, a chip or a patch of pitting stands out from across the street, and a quick touch-up never sits right. Once moisture gets under a damaged chrome or polished face, it lifts and clouds the finish around it. Getting the wheel looked at early keeps the repair smaller.

What we repair

These are the jobs we repair on chrome and polished wheels, and all of them start with the same photo.

Corroded or cloudy polished faces

Milky patches, white spots or pitting on a polished alloy. The old finish is stripped back to bare metal so the corrosion goes with it.

Peeling or pitted chrome

Chrome that has started to flake, bubble or pit, letting moisture reach the metal underneath.

Kerb damage on the rim

Scrapes and gouges are filled and reshaped before any finish goes on, so the line of the rim is true again.

Split rims and steel wheels

We also take on split rims and steel wheels. Send a photo of each part of the wheel that's damaged.

How it works

Assess from your photo.

We look at the damage and the finish and reply within 24 hours with a price and the finishes that suit your wheel.

Book a time.

Call or send your photo first, and we'll agree when you bring the car in. Free loan wheels are available for many makes, subject to stock, so call to check yours.

Tyre off and strip.

The tyre comes off and the wheel is stripped to bare metal at Crown Road, which removes the failed finish and any corrosion.

Repair.

Kerb damage is filled and reshaped. Buckles and cracks go through our in-house straightening and welding.

Finishes we can apply

Finishes we can apply

Powder coat is cured at 180°C in our own oven and comes in four finishes. We match 99% of factory colours and can mix custom shades. Want to change the look completely? See powder coating for the full colour options.
  • Gloss, for a bright, deep shine that sits closest to a polished look
  • Satin, a softer sheen with less glare
  • Matte, a flat finish with no reflection
  • Metallic, with a fine sparkle in the colour
  • Note: any of these can be colour matched to your other wheels, from a paint code or a photo

Can polished wheels be restored?

How long does it take?

Wheels refinished in powder coat are usually ready in 36 to 48 hours. Badly corroded or cracked wheels can take longer, and your quote gives the timing.
