Alloy wheel refurbishment in Maldon

Maldon is a half-hour run and worth it if you want the job done properly rather than touched up. The Blackwater gives Maldon the same problem as Canvey — salt. Wheels that live near the Hythe or the marina corrode under the lacquer from the bead outward, and the only real fix is a full chemical strip and re-coat. We do a fair bit of loose-wheel work from Maldon too: bring four in the back of an estate and save yourself the second trip.

We are not a mobile service — Maldon 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 29 minutes and 16 miles from Maldon. Drop the car in, or bring the wheels loose.

The run from Maldon

A414 to Danbury and Chelmsford, then the A130 south to Wickford. Just under half an hour.

There is no travel charge and no premium for coming from outside Wickford — the price is the price. If 16 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 Maldon customers do exactly that.

The hill down to the Hythe is cobbled and steep, and the quayside parking is tight. Combine that with estuary salt and Maldon wheels usually need structural attention, not just a face repair.

What we do for Maldon 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.
