Wheel Welding in Harlow
Cracked or damaged alloy wheels can cause air loss, safety concerns, and repeated tyre issues if left untreated. At Eddy’s Wheel Repair, we provide professional wheel welding in Harlow, offering safe and reliable repairs for alloy wheels that have suffered structural damage.
Wheel welding is a specialist service that requires careful inspection and experienced handling. Our approach focuses on safety first, ensuring welding is only carried out when a wheel can be repaired to a stable, roadworthy condition.
Understanding Alloy Wheel Welding Repairs
Wheel welding is a specialist repair method used to restore alloy wheels that have developed cracks, splits, or weakened structural areas. This type of damage is often caused by pothole impacts, kerb strikes, road debris, or prolonged driving on underinflated tyres, all of which place excessive stress on the alloy.
While some cracks may appear minor, even small fractures can compromise the wheel’s strength and allow air to escape slowly over time. Left untreated, this can lead to repeated tyre pressure loss, increased vibration, and further deterioration of the wheel structure.
Common Alloy Wheel Cracks and Structural Damage
Not all alloy wheel damage means replacement is required. Where the wheel structure allows, welding can offer a practical repair solution.
We regularly assess and repair:
-
Cracked alloy wheels
-
Hairline fractures linked to slow punctures
-
Split wheels caused by heavy impact
-
Structural kerb damage
-
Weakened alloy sections, where repair is suitable
Every wheel is inspected individually to confirm whether welding is safe and appropriate.
How Alloy Wheel Welding Is Carried Out
Our wheel welding service in Harlow uses professional equipment and controlled repair techniques designed specifically for alloy wheels. Each stage of the process is completed with care to restore strength without compromising safety.
The repair process typically involves:
-
Inspecting the wheel to locate cracks or weak points
-
Cleaning and preparing the damaged area
-
Welding the affected section, including both sides where required
-
Smoothing the repair to protect tyres
-
Carrying out final stability and safety checks
Once welding is complete, refurbishment options can be discussed if required. If you would like to talk through the process, our team is happy to help.
Warning Signs of a Cracked Alloy Wheel
Cracks in alloy wheels are not always obvious, but there are several symptoms that may indicate damage.
Common signs include:
-
Repeated or slow loss of tyre pressure
-
Needing to inflate tyres more often than normal
-
MOT failure related to wheel condition
-
Visible cracks or splits in the alloy
-
Unusual vibration when driving
If you notice any of these issues, having your wheel inspected early can help prevent further problems.

Key benefits include:
-
Restoring wheel strength and stability
-
Preventing ongoing air loss
-
Extending the usable life of alloy wheels
