Alloy wheel refurbishment in Pitsea

Pitsea is a short run from us and a regular fixture in the diary. It is a busy, kerb-heavy area — Pitsea Broadway, the retail park approaches and the residential grid off Rectory Road all take their toll. We refinish a lot of daily drivers from Pitsea: Fords, Vauxhalls, Golfs and Transits, usually a scuffed set rather than one dramatic hit. That kind of job is our sweet spot — strip, repair, powder coat, back on the car.

We are not a mobile service — Pitsea 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 13 minutes and 6 miles from Pitsea. Drop the car in, or bring the wheels loose.

The run from Pitsea

A13 west to the A132, then straight up into Wickford and right onto Cranfield Park Road. Around thirteen minutes.

There is no travel charge and no premium for coming from outside Wickford — the price is the price. If 6 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 Pitsea customers do exactly that.

The A13 approach at Pitsea has long-standing surface damage around the drain lines, and it is the sort of hit that cracks a rim rather than just marking it. We weld and pressure-check cracked alloys in-house.

What we do for Pitsea 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.
