Alloy Wheel Refurbishment Procedure
All wheels are chemically stripped to remove any previous coatings and are then shot-blasted by hand to obtain a bare metal surface in preparation for coating.
The wheels are then slightly dressed and filled to deal with any kerb damage to the rim edges.
(We do not deal with repairs to buckled or badly dented wheels as these are safety related structural repairs and wheels should be written off and replaced).
The wheel is then heated to remove any air from the alloy and powder coat silver finish is applied and then cured for 10 minutes.
Next a clear lacquer coat is applied over the silver in the same manner, thus enhancing and protecting the alloy wheel. Other finishes and colours are available on request.
Lap-tab Limited do not recommend the use of jet washes using acidic cleaning solutions or any proprietary alloy wheel cleaners as these are specifically designed for polished and unlacquered wheels and contain acid based cleaners that will attack and in time break down lacquer coatings.
A mild detergent such as Fairy liquid and hot water used once a week will suffice!
If any of the above is of specific interest to you or your business please do not hesitate to call us.
Wheels with tyres will incur a strip / refit / balance charge as follows:
- 10in - 15in: £10 each + VAT
- 16in - 18in: £15 each + VAT
- 19in - 22in: £20 each + VAT

Press Articles and Testimonials
Some views on our alloy wheel refurbishment services:
The leading Independent Lexus Specialists in the UK.
I am happy to say that the use of your services in refurbishing alloy wheels to a very high standard has been instrumental in the professional presentation of our older cars looking as new.
We have also been impressed with your 'turnaround' time which is of great importance in order for us to have the cars available for sale at the earliest possible opportunity.
John B. Hayfield
Your methods of powder coating the alloy wheel not only transforms the car's appearance but I have every confidence in the alloys retaining, in my opinion their 'better than new' look. This has been confirmed to me when I have taken cars back in part-exchange at a much later date and the wheels still look perfect.
Colin Henshall
Lord Dennis Eyre
The alloys on my Noble car were refurbished beyond belief - a truly awesome job, better than the factory finish.
We have been amazed at the quality
turnaround times and exceptional value for money - a truly professional
