Old chrome that has gone dull but not rusted through can often be polished back rather than stripped and replated. If the base metal underneath has failed, polishing will show it, and we will tell you before you spend money on a finish that cannot last. In that case rechroming is the answer.

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.

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