Can kerb rash be repaired?

Many scuffs and scratches can be prepared and refinished. The exact approach depends on depth, finish type and whether there is any structural damage.

Do you paint only the damaged spot?

Sometimes a local repair is appropriate, but some finishes and colour matches are more consistent when the full wheel is refurbished.

What if the wheel is also bent?

Straightening suitability must be assessed before cosmetic work. We do not use finish repairs to hide deformation.

Can diamond-cut kerb marks be removed?

Some can be removed by CNC machining if the wheel remains suitable for another controlled cut.

Can I send a photo for an initial quote?

Yes. Send a clear full-wheel photo and close-ups of each damaged area on WhatsApp. Final advice may change after physical inspection.

Kerb Damage & Alloy Wheel Repair Oldham

What this service does

Kerb contact can leave raised edges, scratches and missing finish around the rim or face. A professional repair prepares the damaged area and restores the appearance using a process appropriate to the wheel finish.

We first identify whether the wheel is painted, powder coated or diamond cut and check for deformation or cracking. Suitable cosmetic damage is levelled and prepared before the finish is rebuilt. More widespread damage may be better handled as a full refurbishment.

When it may be suitable

Scuffs and scratches from kerb contact
Chipped coating around the wheel edge
Cosmetic marks on painted or powder-coated wheels
Assessment of diamond-cut kerb damage before machining

A cosmetic repair should not conceal a bend or crack. If the impact has caused structural damage, that concern is assessed before finish work.

Local repair or complete refurbishment?

A focused repair may suit a small isolated mark on some finishes. Widespread rash, corrosion or colour mismatch can make a full refurbishment the more consistent option.

Diamond-cut kerb damage

Damage on a diamond-cut face often needs CNC machining rather than a simple painted touch-in. The wheel must have enough suitable material remaining for another cut.
