Metal Polishing Slough

Metal polishing for Slough customers

Slough is about 110 miles from our workshop near Weston-super-Mare, along the M4, so items come to us by insured courier and go back the same way, inspected at each stage.

Brass nameplates, plaques and door signs lose their shine quickly, especially outdoors. We polish them back by hand, working carefully around engraved or raised lettering so the detail stays sharp. For plaques that will stay outside, we can advise on lacquering to slow down tarnishing.

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.
