Call Us Now WhatsApp for a Free QuoteKerbing an alloy is one of those small disasters every driver knows. A tight parking spot, an unfamiliar Spanish kerb that sits a little higher than you expected, a roundabout taken slightly wide — and there it is, that grinding sound and a fresh scrape down the rim. It is far and away the most common wheel damage we see, and for British drivers settling into the Valencia area it is often the first job they need. The good news: a kerbed wheel is almost always repairable, and we put it right properly.
At The Wheel Lab in Alaquàs we repair kerb damage every day. We do not just dab paint over the scrape — we re-profile the damaged metal so the shape of the rim is restored, then refinish it so the repair is invisible and the wheel matches the rest of the set. With our own CNC lathe, we can even restore kerbed diamond-cut wheels to their original machined finish.
Types of Kerb Damage We Repair
Light Scuffs
Surface scrapes on the outer lip or spoke edge that have only marked the paint or lacquer. Quick to put right and refinish.
Deep Gouges
Kerbing that has removed chunks of metal from the rim lip. The area is filled, re-shaped and refinished to restore the profile.
Kerbed Diamond-Cut Faces
Scrapes through the machined surface of a diamond-cut wheel. Repaired, then re-cut on our CNC lathe — the only correct fix.
Multiple Kerbed Wheels
A whole set that has picked up damage over time. Repaired and refinished together for a consistent, as-new appearance.
Painted & Coloured Wheels
Kerb damage on black, anthracite or coloured wheels, colour-matched and refinished so the repair blends in seamlessly.
Kerb Damage with a Bend
A hard kerb strike that has also bent the rim. We check for distortion and straighten it as part of the repair where needed.
Why Sort Kerb Damage Sooner Rather Than Later
A kerb scrape might look purely cosmetic, but it exposes the bare aluminium underneath the paint or lacquer. Left alone, that exposed metal starts to oxidise, and corrosion can creep under the surrounding finish — turning a simple, cheap repair into a much bigger refurbishment job. Dealing with a fresh kerb scrape promptly keeps the repair small, quick and inexpensive.

Why Drivers Bring Their Kerbed Wheels to Us
Anyone can paint over a scrape. We restore the rim properly — re-profiling the metal so the shape is right, then refinishing to match — which is why the repair lasts and stays invisible. With our own CNC lathe, we restore a kerbed diamond-cut wheel by re-cutting its face rather than just painting it silver.
Every kerb repair is backed by our 12-month guarantee, and we are happy to deal with you in English from your first WhatsApp message to collecting the finished wheels.
