Alloy Wheel Repairs in Shropshire
Complete Guide to Alloy Wheel Repair, Repainting & Refurbishment
Damaged alloys don’t just look bad — they affect how your car drives, handles, and even passes its MOT.
At RSC Body Centre, we offer expert alloy wheel repair in Shropshire, from kerb scuffs to full repainting and refurbishment. We also offer brake caliper repainting for a clean, upgraded look.
Whether it’s cosmetic or structural, we restore your wheels to a like-new finish with high-performance materials and precision work.
How Do You Know If You Need Alloy Wheel Repair and Refurbishment?
Your wheels take a daily beating — potholes, kerbs, and weather all cause visible and hidden issues.
Common signs your alloys need repairing:
- Kerb scuffs or scratches
- Cracks or dents
- Paint peeling or flaking
- Bent rims
- Oxidation or corrosion
- Colour fading
- Vibrations while driving
Why it matters:
Cracked or bent alloys won’t just ruin the look — they can lead to tyre pressure loss, suspension problems, uneven tyre wear, and MOT failure.
Our Alloy Wheel Repair Services
We don’t just touch up and hope for the best. Every repair follows a tested, workshop-grade process:
Damage Assessment
– We inspect the wheel for cracks, corrosion, and surface damage using a trained eye and digital tools.
Repair and Refurbishment
– Dents and gouges are filled and sanded
– Cracks are welded (where safe)
– Bent wheels are straightened on a hydraulic press
Sanding and Surface Prep
– We fully strip damaged paint and prepare the surface for refinishing.
Repainting or Powder Coating
– Choose a custom colour or factory match. We apply professional-grade coatings with high-temperature curing.
Quality Check and Balancing
– Wheels are balanced, refitted, and tested before handover.

Alloy Wheel Repainting
If your alloys are faded or you just want a fresh look, repainting is a cost-effective upgrade.
Benefits of wheel repainting:
- Restores faded or patchy colour
- Adds protective coating against corrosion
- Offers gloss, satin, matt or custom finishes
- Makes your car look newer instantly
- We use dealer-grade paint and lacquer for long-lasting colour and shine. All wheels are fully removed and sprayed off the car for best results.
Alloy Wheel Refurbishment in Shropshire
Refurbishment is more than a quick fix. It’s ideal for badly damaged or oxidised alloys.
Refurb includes:
- Full paint strip
- Damage repair if kerbed
- Sandblasting
- Colour respray or powder coat
- Lacquer sealing
- This process is perfect for diamond cut alloys, corroded wheels, or when you want to change colour completely.
Common finishes we offer:
- Gloss black
- Anthracite grey
- Silver sparkle

Brake Caliper Repainting
Brake calipers often go unnoticed — or worse, look rusty behind fresh alloys.
We offer professional brake caliper painting as an add-on or standalone service.
How it works:
- Remove wheels and clean calipers thoroughly

- Add clear coat for UV protection
- Custom colours available
