Alloy wheel refurbishment in Battlesbridge
Battlesbridge is two miles up the road, and a fair few of our customers first hear about us at the classic and custom shows that run at the antiques centre through the year. That crowd cares about wheels — and it is where a lot of our restoration and custom-colour work comes from. Original steels, period alloys and the odd split rim all come through the door from the Battlesbridge scene, and we are happy to talk through what will and will not work on an older wheel before you commit.

The run from Battlesbridge
Straight down the A132 from the antiques centre, into Wickford, then left onto Cranfield Park Road. Barely a two-mile hop.
There is no travel charge and no premium for coming from outside Wickford — the price is the price. If 2 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 Battlesbridge customers do exactly that.
What we do for Battlesbridge 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.
