Clean, strong welds for alloys, engine components, brackets, and structural parts
Choose Alloy Wheel Repair for professional TIG and MIG welding repairs
If you’ve bought aftermarket wheels, changed cars, or imported wheels that don’t quite fit your vehicle hub, the centre bore likely needs machining.
Our precision lathe service enlarges the centre hole of the alloy wheel to perfectly match your hub diameter.

What is TIG welding?
TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding is the gold standard for clean, high-strength welds on metals like aluminium, stainless steel, and chromoly.
Unlike MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, TIG gives the welder greater control over heat and precision. This makes TIG welding more suitable for delicate alloy wheel repairs and structural vehicle components.
Done properly, a TIG weld can restore a cracked or broken part to near-original strength. That means you don’t always have to replace expensive parts or a damaged rim.
With Alloy Wheel Repair, you get peace of mind: every job is assessed for safety and backed by our workmanship guarantee.
What we can weld and repair
We provide high-quality TIG welding by trained and certified welders for a wide range of vehicle and metal repair scenarios:
- Cracked or split alloy wheels (rim repair)
- Damaged or broken engine components
- Cracked exhaust manifolds or turbo parts
- Thin alloy or stainless panels
- Structural motorbike frame repairs (where appropriate)
- Industrial brackets, arms, and metal fittings
If you’re unsure whether your part can be safely welded, just ask. Give us a call for guidance and a quote.
Our TIG welding process
Our process
1. Assess the damage
We begin by inspecting the part or wheel to determine whether it's safe and economical to repair. If welding isn't the right solution, we'll let you know upfront.
2. Prep the weld area
The damaged section is cleaned, V-grooved, and stabilised to allow a high-quality weld that penetrates properly. The workpiece will be thoroughly cleaned and pre-heated to avoid impurities in the weld seam, ensuring a high-strength repair that holds under stress.
3. Weld with precision
Using our advanced three-phase TIG setup and shielding gas, we repair with attention to strength, consistency, and finish, ensuring the appropriate welding rod is selected to suit the type of alloy being repaired.
4. Refinish and rebalance (if needed)
If you're welding a wheel, we can refinish, powder coat, rebalance, and refit it, too. See our Mag Wheel Repair and Bent & Cracked Wheel Repair services for more information.
5. Final inspection and sign-off
We don't cut corners. Every weld is checked for structural integrity and appearance before we return your component.

“When I picked it up the next day, I was absolutely blown away—my jaw nearly dropped! The alloys looked brand new, even better than when I first bought the car—completely flawless!”

“What a fantastic job these guys did for me. All 4 of my wheels needed a full overhaul. Brilliant work. Friendly and helpful staff and the process was very easy. Given the amount of work done to my wheels I found the price very affordable. I would highly recommend their services.”
