Metal Restoration for Gilbert Homes and Businesses

From hay capital to family town.

A century ago Gilbert shipped so much hay that it called itself the hay capital of the world. The water tower in the Heritage District is a reminder. Today it is one of the largest towns in the country, mostly newer homes in places like Agritopia, Power Ranch and Val Vista Lakes.

Working with us from Gilbert takes four steps. Photos to us. A written quote back to you. Your box to Oceanside, usually one to two business days by ground. Then our part: strip, prep, plate, inspect and return insured. Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 weeks once the parts are here.

Gilbert requests are mostly from households. Builder grade hardware that has worn through after ten or fifteen years. A remodel where the new faucet does not match the old towel bars. Restaurants and shops in the Heritage District ask about bar and lighting details as well.

What We Do

Plating Services in Gilbert

Gilbert homes favor nickel plating in satin or polished looks, brass plating, patinas like oil rubbed bronze and chrome plating, and many owners choose powder coating for patio and yard pieces.

Plating and Polishing for Gilbert

Worn faucets, mismatched pulls and patio lights.

Arizona water is hard, and in Gilbert it shows up as white crust on faucets and spots on shower trim. Over time the minerals wear through thin factory plating. We strip those fixtures, polish the metal below and replate with a proper thickness, so they look better than they did new.

The farmhouse look is popular here, and it relies on darker metals. We build oil rubbed bronze and antique brass by hand and relieve the highlights on each piece. If you are mixing old and new hardware, send a sample and we will bring the whole set to one color.

Since 1989

Over three decades of plating, one shop in Oceanside.

Every part is stripped, prepped, plated and inspected in our own building, and our work comes with a 12 month workmanship guarantee. Send photos and we'll take it from there.

    How It Works

    From Gilbert to Our Shop

    Gilbert boxes ship west by ground, then come home the same way.

    01

    Get your quote first

    Send photos of every part with a short description. We reply with a written quote and a lead time, usually the same business day. Never ship before you have a quote number.

    02

    Pack it like it will be dropped

    Wrap each piece individually, keep metal from touching metal, and use at least three inches of padding on every side. Double box long trim and bumpers.

    03

    Insure and send the tracking

    Ship with any carrier, insure the box for what the parts are worth to you, and email us the tracking number so we know it is on the way.

    04

    Approve, then we ship back

    We send photos when the work is done. Once you approve and pay, your parts go back to you packed the same careful way.

    In most cases, yes. If the mineral crust has eaten through the finish, cleaning will not bring it back. We strip the fixture, polish the base metal and replate it in chrome, nickel or brass.

    It depends on the piece. Solid brass fixtures and good quality hardware are usually worth replating. Light, low cost items often are not, and we will say so. Send photos and we will give you a straight answer with the quote.

    Yes. We strip the old lacquer and finish, then build the dark bronze color by hand and seal it. Highlights on the edges are relieved so the pieces have depth, not a flat painted look.

    Count the pulls and knobs, bag them together and include one photo of the finish you want. We plate the set in a single run so the color is even. Keep the screws at home unless they need finishing too.

    We do. Builders and contractors send hardware and lighting for model homes and custom builds. Give us quantities and the schedule, and we will tell you what timing is realistic before you commit.

    Send us a few photos of the part from different angles, along with what it is and the finish you want. We look them over and send a written quote, usually within 24 business hours. It's free, and you're under no obligation to go ahead.

    Standard orders take 3 to 5 weeks from the day your parts arrive. If you're on a deadline, ask about expedited service. When the schedule allows, we can finish in 5 to 7 business days.

    Yes. Our workmanship is covered for 12 months. If something isn't right with the finish we put on, call us and we'll make it right.
