Professional Alloy Wheel Welding Repair Process (TIG Welding)
Welding is used to repair cracks, splits, and severe kerb damage on alloy wheels. A proper repair is a controlled, precision process, not a quick surface patch.
Below is how professional wheel repair specialists do it safely.
Technicians check:
Tyre Removal & Preparation
Contamination (paint, corrosion, brake dust) must be completely removed.
The damaged area is:
This ensures the weld bonds properly — not just on the surface.
Aluminium wheels are preheated to:
~120–180°C
Why?
Temperature is monitored carefully.
Professional repairs use TIG welding (Tungsten Inert Gas) because it:
The technician:
Poor repairs often use MIG welding — which is less precise for thin
aluminium.
Wheel is allowed to cool naturally.
Sudden cooling can cause brittleness.
After welding:
Crack repairs are performed using professional TIG welding techniques to restore the structural integrity of a damaged alloy wheel. Welding is a repair
process applied to a wheel that has already suffered structural failure.
While the repair is carried out to industry standards, welding alters the material properties of the alloy in the repaired area. As a result, the wheel may
not perform identically to a new or undamaged wheel.
By authorising this repair, you acknowledge that the wheel has been structurally damaged and repaired. DCA Wheel Refurbishment Ltd cannot
guarantee the long-term durability of the repair and accepts no liability for any future cracking, failure, air leaks, or damage resulting from the original defect or repaired area.
The repaired wheel should be regularly inspected and is repaired at the customer’s own risk.
We provide the advantage of convenience, as you won’t need to leave your vehicle at a workshop for an extended period. It’s a time-saving option for individuals with busy schedules.
Thank you Bryan. Fantastic job on my Tesla wheels! Awesome service and awesome work. Highly recommend!
**5★** Absolutely delighted with the results. I brought my van in with the original silver factory wheels. They were stripped down and painted a deep, glossy black, and the transformation is incredible. The whole van looks completely different — sharper, more impressive, and far more premium. The finish is flawless with a proper depth to the colour, and the attention to detail was excellent. It’s given the vehicle a much stronger presence on the road. Couldn’t be happier with the work. Highly recommend if you’re thinking of refreshing your wheels or changing your look.
Incredible service, got me in very quickly and did a brilliant job. Would 100% recommend and will definitely be using DCA again
Brilliant service! Never got my alloys re done before but I will be back with the next car. Dimond cut to gloss black very happy with all work done even changed my bolts and tyres, Friendly service very knowledgeable and cared about the work. Best in Tamworth in my opinion very professional thanks Brian!
Bryan goes above and beyond. He cares passionately about delivering top drawer service. He understands how important immaculate alloys can be to car enthusiasts. Delivers on time and with a smile and offers advice on other aspects e.g paint remedies and tyre replacement. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Excellent service and a top quality job. They fitted me in at very short notice & could not have been more helpful. Would 100% use this company in the future.
What a relief to find a great place like this, excellent work and superb communications. Nothing negative to report about Bryan and his wife as they are a both great to do business with... Use them for your refurbs and you will not regret it. Highly recommended.....
Service was bang on, Finish is top notch and were completed in a short time even when another refurb specialist said couldnt be diamond cut again. Bmw 437m wheels looking factory fresh again.
Absolutely over the moon with the refurb Bryan at DCA did on my OEM 437M wheels. From start to finish the service was spot on. Very friendly guy, excellent workmanship, great comms throughout and you can tell he genuinely cares about the quality of his work. I went for the ferric grey and diamond cut finish and the wheels have come out looking absolutely stunning — better than I expected. The finish is clean, consistent and OEM+ quality. Bryan also took the time to explain the process properly and kept me updated throughout, which gave me a lot of confidence after previous bad experiences elsewhere. Turnaround was quick, attention to detail was excellent and the overall experience was professional from start to finish. Highly recommend DCA if you want your wheels done properly by someone who takes pride in their work.
I couldn’t be happier with the transformation that Bryan has achieved with my Audi A7 wheels. They were 11 years old, curb rashed, paint peeling and generally looking very sad. Now they’re absolutely mint plus the colour transition from standard grey to satin black makes them pop - just gotta get some new black centre caps to match now. I’m really happy with them, massive thanks to DCA Refinishing Ltd for a grand job 👍👍
Common signs include slow pressure loss, repeated punctures on the same tyre, or a crack spotted during an MOT or tyre change.
No. Some cracks are too high risk depending on location and severity. We inspect first and only repair wheels that are suitable.
Yes. We test the wheel to confirm the repair holds air properly.
A repair restores integrity in the repaired area, but it won’t be the same as an undamaged wheel. That’s why inspection and suitability checks matter.
Yes. If required, we can refinish the wheel depending on the finish type and the result you want.
Invoice provided. Bank transfer, cash, debit and credit cards accepted.
