Metal Polishing Shrewsbury

Metal polishing for Shrewsbury customers

Shrewsbury is about 120 miles from our workshop near Weston-super-Mare, up the M5, so items come to us by insured courier and go back the same way once they have been inspected and wrapped.

It helps to know what polishing can and cannot do. Light scratches, oxidation and dullness polish out well. Deep pitting in aluminium or a casting can only be reduced, not removed, because polishing takes metal away and there is a limit to how much a part can lose. We assess every item when it arrives, so you know what finish to expect before we start.

You can read more about the metals we polish and the finishes available on 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.
