Can anyone recommend somewhere that can do a smart repair on a diamond cut alloy or complete wheel refurb in or around Reading?

Would probably need completely refurbing.
Personally think Diamond cut is a waste of energy so just get them refurbished in a nice chrome silver powdercoat to give a similar look.

Elite wheels are in reading.
Elite car care in Maidenhead

both do great jobs.

2nd Elite in Reading https://www.elitewheels.co.uk/alloy-refurbishment/

I`ve used them many times, they may even loan you a set of wheels and tyres while yours are being done.

I got them to do it. £190 for one wheel. There was however a small chip on one of the spokes that wasn't there before. Very minor - but can see it under bright light. A brand new wheel cost £218.98

Just to note, Elite Wheels do not refurbish the wheels themselves.

They outsource to a company in Kent who make pickups / drops offs once per week i believe.

For that price, surely a new wheel would have been better?

I had one of mine done while I waited in less than an hour so I assume they must do some themselves? Otherwise that was an impressively quick trip to Kent! ;-)

Mine got sent off at Elite - they said they had 2 pick ups per week. This was back end of last year.
