Metal Polishing Luton

Metal polishing for Luton customers

Luton is about 140 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.

Polishing is a service in its own right, and it is also the most important stage of electroplating. Plating is a mirror, not a filler, so every mark left in the metal shows through. That is why many jobs are polished first and plated afterwards, and why we sometimes suggest polishing alone when a part never needed plating in the first place.

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.
