It’s also a strong fit for trade customers who need safe, consistent repairs with clear communication.
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.
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.
