Can you repair diamond cut alloy wheels?

Yes. Diamond cut alloy wheels can often be repaired, but the wheel needs assessment because previous cuts, corrosion, lacquer failure and damage depth affect what is possible.

Do I need to remove the wheels from my car?

Not always. Send photos first and the team will advise whether the job needs workshop inspection, wheel removal, or another repair route.

Can you change the colour of my alloy wheels?

Yes, colour-change and painted finish enquiries can be discussed. Final options depend on wheel condition, desired finish and preparation required.

Do you serve Chatham and Gillingham?

Yes. B&W Diamond Cut Ltd is based in Chatham and supports customers across Chatham, Gillingham and surrounding Medway.

What photos should I send for a quote?

Send a full-wheel photo, close-ups of the damage, a side angle if the wheel is bent or heavily scuffed, and a note with your vehicle model, location and number of wheels.

Can every diamond cut wheel be re-cut?

No. Some wheels may not be suitable for another diamond cut if they have already been cut before, have heavy corrosion, or have damage that affects the safe repair route.

Is powder coating the same as diamond cutting?

No. Powder coating or painted refurbishment creates a colour finish, while diamond cutting machines the face of the alloy to create a machined look before lacquer is applied.

Alloy Wheel Services

Which alloy wheel repair do you need?

Diamond cut alloy wheel repair

Best for wheels with a machined silver face, lacquer peel, white worm, kerb marks or finish deterioration on the diamond cut surface. Send photos first so the team can check whether the wheel is suitable for diamond cutting or whether another finish is more sensible.
Full alloy wheel refurbishment

Best for kerbed, corroded, worn or tired alloy wheels that need stripping, preparation and repainting. This is often the right route when a wheel needs a full visual refresh rather than a small cosmetic touch-up.
Painted / colour-change finish

Best when the customer wants a fresh painted finish, gloss black, satin black, silver, anthracite or a custom colour. Make clear that final options depend on wheel condition and finish requirements.
Wheel and caliper design

For custom wheel and caliper design enquiries. Keep this as enquiry-led if the full product/service is not yet launched.

What is alloy wheel refurbishment?

Alloy wheel refurbishment is the process of restoring a damaged, corroded or worn alloy wheel so it looks clean and consistent again. Depending on the wheel and the damage, the job may involve cleaning, preparation, kerb damage repair, repainting, lacquering, powder coating, diamond cutting, or a full strip and refinish.

Diamond cut vs painted alloy refurbishment

Diamond cut wheels have a machined face that catches the light differently from a painted wheel. Painted or powder-coated wheels use a colour finish across the wheel surface. The right option depends on the original finish, damage depth, corrosion, previous repairs and what final look the customer wants.

Workshop repair or mobile support?

Not every alloy wheel repair is suitable for mobile work. Diamond cut finishes, previous repairs, corrosion and damage depth can affect what is possible.

Workshop-led alloy work

Some alloy wheel repairs are better handled through the Chatham workshop, especially diamond cut finishes, full refurbishment, heavier preparation, colour changes or wheels that need closer inspection.

Mobile-suitable support

Some lighter cosmetic assessments, photo quote handling and related SMART repair enquiries may be suitable for mobile support. The team can advise after reviewing photos.
