Metal Polishing Reading

Metal polishing for Reading customers

Reading is about 95 miles from our workshop near Weston-super-Mare, along the M4, so items usually come to us by insured courier and are returned the same way.

Brass chandeliers, wall lights and lamp bases are often lacquered, and once the lacquer fails the brass underneath tarnishes unevenly. We strip the old lacquer and polish the brass back by hand. Please remove the wiring, bulb holders and glass before sending, and have the fitting checked by an electrician before it goes back into use.

Our main metal polishing page covers every metal we work with, from aluminium and brass to stainless and mild steel.

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.
