Alloy wheel refurbishment in Canvey Island

Canvey is just over twenty minutes away and gives us more corrosion work than anywhere else we cover. Salt air, sea walls and standing water do genuine damage to alloys — you get white-worm corrosion tracking under the lacquer from the bead outward, and pitting that no amount of polishing will hide. The only honest fix is a full chemical strip back to bare metal, proper preparation and a fresh powder coat. It lasts. Painting over it does not.

We are not a mobile service — Canvey Island customers come to us. Everything is done at our Wickford unit (Unit 40, Andersons Industrial Estate, SS12 9EJ). We do not offer collection or mobile visits, so you make your own way here — about 22 minutes and 11 miles from Canvey Island. Drop the car in, or bring the wheels loose.

The run from Canvey Island

Off the island on the A130, north to the A132 and straight into Wickford. Around twenty-two minutes.

There is no travel charge and no premium for coming from outside Wickford — the price is the price. If 11 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 Canvey Island customers do exactly that.

Anything parked within sight of the sea wall corrodes faster than an inland car — we can usually tell a Canvey wheel before we are told where it came from. If yours are going cloudy at the rim edge, catch it early and the repair is far cheaper.

What we do for Canvey Island 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.
