Metal Polishing Brighton

Metal polishing for Brighton customers

Brighton is about 170 miles from our workshop near Weston-super-Mare, so items come to us by insured courier and go back the same way, checked and wrapped before they leave.

Brighton has drawn scooter riders since the 1960s, and a classic scooter has plenty of alloy worth polishing: hubs, headsets, levers, horn casts and engine casings. Cast alloy can be porous, so we look at each part before we start and tell you what finish the metal will allow. Parts that were originally chromed can be rechromed instead.

Our metal polishing page explains how different metals behave under the mop and what finish to expect.

We specialise in restoring all types of classic/vintage car parts, motorcycle parts, marine parts, BMX/Raleigh Chopper parts, household items and bespoke items. We can also take on industrial polishing work.

Polishing is a critical part of the electroplating service which is carried out by experienced polishers using industrial machines before plating begins.

All marks, blemishes and imperfections need to be removed at this stage, but as we are working in most cases with second hand metal this is not always possible and sometimes it is inevitable that pits may remain in restoration items after plating.

Die cast and aluminium in particular can contain a certain amount of porosity therefore an initial assessment will be made upon receipt, so you the customer are fully aware of the overall finish that we will be able to achieve.

Whilst metal polishing services are part of the electroplating process, we are happy to offer this as a stand alone service. We can meet your individual requests by polishing all types of metal to a mirror or satin finish. We provide a high quality finish on Aluminium or Stainless Steel items.
