Alloy wheel repair
Alloy wheel repair for cosmetic gutter rash and rim marks
Mobile alloy wheel repair is for cosmetic damage such as gutter rash, scraped wheel lips and localised finish marks. Bent, cracked or structurally damaged wheels are not treated as cosmetic mobile repairs. Send a full wheel photo plus a close-up of the rash so the operator can assess suitability.
The wheel's finish decides what a mobile repair can achieve. Painted and powder-coated alloys — the most common finish — respond well to on-site repair: the rash is sanded out, deeper gouges are filled, and the face is primed and repainted in a matching wheel silver or colour. Diamond-cut wheels, with their bright machined face and visible fine lines, generally need re-machining on a lathe to restore the original look, so a mobile repair is either a painted-finish compromise or a referral. If you are not sure which finish you have, a clear photo answers it instantly.
How a kerb rash repair works
The wheel is cleaned and the damaged section masked off from the tyre and brake components. The rash is sanded back until the edge is smooth, and gouges too deep to sand out are filled with an alloy-suitable filler. The repaired area is primed, colour matched to the existing wheel finish, painted and sealed, then cured on site. A typical cosmetic repair takes roughly one to two hours per wheel, and the car stays on its wheels the whole time.
One honest limit: a wheel that has hit a kerb or pothole hard enough to bend or crack is a safety item, not a cosmetic one. No reputable mobile repairer will paint over a structural problem — that wheel needs a wheel specialist or replacement.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can gutter rash on alloy wheels be repaired?
Yes — cosmetic gutter rash, scraped lips and scuffed faces on painted or powder-coated alloys are exactly what mobile wheel repair is for. The damage is sanded out, filled where needed, primed, colour matched and repainted on site, usually in one to two hours per wheel.
Can diamond-cut wheels be repaired mobile?
Usually not to their original finish. The bright machined face of a diamond-cut wheel is produced on a lathe, so a true restoration needs re-cutting at a specialist. A mobile operator can sometimes offer a painted-finish repair as a tidy compromise, or will refer you on — a photo of the wheel face tells them which.
Is a bent or cracked wheel safe to repair cosmetically?
No. Bends and cracks are structural damage, and painting over them does not make the wheel safe. Mobile cosmetic repair is declined for those wheels and you will be pointed to a wheel specialist or replacement instead.
How much does alloy wheel repair cost?
It depends on the finish, the depth of the rash and how many wheels are damaged, so quotes come from photos of each wheel. Repairing cosmetic kerb rash is normally far cheaper than replacing an alloy, especially on larger or factory-optioned wheels.
Do the wheels need to come off the car?
For most cosmetic face and lip repairs, no — the operator masks the tyre and works with the wheel on the vehicle at your home or workplace. Damage that wraps deep into the barrel may need a different approach, which the operator will flag from your photos.
