When an item has been prepared in the polishing shop, it can be put through an appropriate plating process by an experienced and knowledgeable plater resulting in a high quality enduring finish.

In the main processing shop we have the plant and solutions for Zinc, Copper, Dull Nickel, Semi-Bright Nickel, Bright Nickel & Chrome Plating. Our tanks are large enough to cope with items upto 8 feet in length.

We can also offer Silver & Gold plating for smaller parts such as reflectors, etc.

Where chrome plating of old parts is concerned, again there is no substitute for skill and experience. There is an art to know how to 'jig up' a part prior to its journey through the chemical processes. The plater will be aware of holes on studs to be masked and of parts that have to fit together after plating. They will be aware of power and time settings to ensure that the correct amount of plating is put onto parts, so that they withstand an outdoor environment.
