Alloy wheel refurbishment in Basildon
Basildon is our biggest single source of work outside Wickford itself, and the reason is simple: it is twelve minutes up the A132 and the town is full of exactly the cars we refinish. New-town road layout means an enormous amount of kerbed parking, mini-roundabouts and speed cushions, and the alloys pay for it. We handle everything from a single kerbed rim to full sets in gloss black, anthracite or a bespoke colour, and we do a lot of work for Basildon-based independents and bodyshops who send us their refinishing rather than farming it out to a mobile.

The run from Basildon
Up the A132 from the Cranes interchange and off at Wickford — about twelve minutes door to door, and no motorway involved.
There is no travel charge and no premium for coming from outside Wickford — the price is the price. If 5 miles is an awkward round trip to do twice, bring the wheels loose instead: four in the back of an estate or a van works perfectly well, and plenty of our Basildon customers do exactly that.
What we do for Basildon cars
Everything happens at Unit 40 — nothing is sent away and nothing is subcontracted. That matters most for the two jobs a mobile repairer genuinely cannot do: diamond cutting, which needs a CNC lathe, and crack welding, which needs a TIG set and a pressure test.
- Full refurbishment — chemically stripped to bare metal, repaired, powder coated and oven-cured. From £75 a wheel.
- Diamond cutting — on our own lathe, with a corrosion-inhibiting lacquer. The fix for wheels that have gone cloudy or milky.
- Crack repair — veed out, TIG welded, machined back and pressure-tested. A cracked wheel is an MOT failure.
- Buckle straightening — runout measured, not guessed. This is what that vibration at 60 usually is.
- Caliper painting — calipers off the car, stripped and coated properly. The obvious moment to do it is while the wheels are already off.
- Locking nut removal — no key needed. From £20 per wheel.
We also run the tuning side out of the same unit — Stage 1 remapping written for your exact engine, plus proper DPF and AdBlue diagnosis. Check what your car should make.
