Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in AnaheimWe handle metal plating for Anaheim businesses and homeowners who want parts that look good and last. Hotels, restaurants, manufacturers and families ship their pieces to our Oceanside shop, and we send them back refinished and insured.
Hospitality up front, industry behind it.
Most people know Anaheim for its theme parks and the resort area around them, with hotels and restaurants that need hardware looking sharp every day. Fewer people know how much manufacturing happens in the Anaheim Canyon business area and along the industrial streets in the north and west of the city.
Anaheim parts come to us by ground, usually in one business day. You send photos, we send a written quote, and you ship the parts. We strip, prep, plate and inspect in our shop, and the finished order ships back insured.
Hotels and restaurants send door pulls, rails and bath trim. Manufacturers and machine shops send production parts that need consistent nickel, chrome or powder coating. Homeowners in the Anaheim Colony historic district send hardware from houses built more than a hundred years ago.
Anaheim asks us for chrome plating, nickel plating and brass plating on hospitality pieces, and powder coating and tumble finishes for manufactured parts.

View ServiceResort hotels, machine shops and the Anaheim Colony.
Resort hotels and restaurants go through hardware fast, because it gets touched and cleaned all day. We replate handles, rails, faucets and fixtures so they look new again, often in batches so a property is never missing everything at once. Brass and polished nickel are favorite looks in lobbies.
Behind the resort area sits a strong industrial base. Manufacturers in Anaheim Canyon send parts for plating, powder coating or tumbling, sometimes in the thousands. And the Anaheim Colony, the city's original neighborhood, has older homes with hardware worth restoring instead of replacing.
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.
Anaheim is a short trip for a package. Here is how it usually works.
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.
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.
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.
We send photos when the work is done. Once you approve and pay, your parts go back to you packed the same careful way.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the questions we hear most from Anaheim.
Yes. Many Anaheim hotels send pieces in rounds, a floor or a set at a time, so nothing is left bare. Tell us the count and your schedule and we plan the batches with you.
Yes. Give us the address and a contact name, and we send the finished order there insured instead of to your office. Ground boxes usually reach Anaheim the next business day, which helps contractors and hotel teams plan installation.
We do. Tumbling removes burrs, rounds edges and brightens small parts in quantity. We run a sample batch first so you can approve the look before the full order goes through.
Yes. We mask threads and mating surfaces so parts still fit together after coating. Mark the areas that must stay bare, or send a drawing, and we include masking in the quote.
We do. Many of those homes date back to the early 1900s, and their hardware is usually solid brass or iron. We strip, repair and replate it in a finish that matches the house.
Not at all. Most of what comes through our door is home and business hardware: faucets, light fixtures, door handles, cabinet pulls, railings and decorative pieces. We also work for hotels, restaurants, boat owners and manufacturers.
Tell us what the part is, roughly how big it is, how many pieces you have and the finish you're after. If you know the metal, mention it. If not, that's fine. We can usually tell from the photos.
Every part is quoted on its own. The biggest factors are condition, the base metal, size and shape, the finish you choose and how many pieces you send. A part with deep pits or broken spots takes more work before it can be plated.
