Metal Polishing Coventry

Doug Taylor Metal Finishing Co are a family-run business, established in 1981 and providing comprehensive Metal Polishing Coventry.

The business was started by Doug Taylor himself, a keen chemist with a passion for Metal Polishing, and there are now three generations of the Taylor family involved in the business.

Metal polishing for Coventry customers

Coventry is about 120 miles from our workshop near Weston-super-Mare, so items come to us by insured courier and are returned the same way once they have been inspected and wrapped.

Triumph built motorcycles in Coventry until the factory was destroyed in the Blitz in 1940, and classic Triumphs carry plenty of polished alloy: timing covers, primary cases, rocker boxes and hubs. We polish engine cases and covers by hand, working through progressively finer compounds so edges and casting details stay crisp.

For more on how we polish each metal, and when polishing is better than plating, see our metal polishing page.

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.

Please call us on 01934 820 454 or email us to discuss your polishing requirements.
