Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in Diamond BarWe handle metal plating for Diamond Bar homeowners, offices, restaurants and shop owners who ship parts to our Oceanside shop. Lighting, fixtures, hardware and decor return stripped, plated and insured.
Old ranch land in the Puente Hills.
Diamond Bar takes its name from an old cattle ranch brand. Today the hills are covered with neighborhoods from the 1970s through the 1990s, including The Country Estates, a large gated community with big custom homes. Office parks near the 57 and the 60 hold corporate and regional offices, and shopping centers serve the busy families.
Diamond Bar customers mail us their parts. A handful of photos is enough for a written quote. After you ship by ground, the parcel is usually here in a day, and once each piece passes inspection it returns insured.
Homeowners send chandeliers, door hardware, bath fixtures and cabinet pulls. Offices send lobby rails and handles. Restaurants send decor and serving pieces, and shops send display fixtures and signs.
Diamond Bar asks for nickel plating, brass plating and gold 24k plating indoors, plus powder coating and chrome plating.

Custom homes in The Country Estates and the surrounding hills often have big lighting, grand entries and lots of hardware. Owners remodeling them send chandeliers, sconces and door sets for polished nickel, satin brass or gold accents. We finish full sets together so every room matches. Country Estates homes often have matching sconces in every hallway, and we finish them in one batch.
Office parks along the freeways send lobby rails, handles and fixtures in sets. Restaurants send decorative pieces and serving ware that need gold, brass or nickel. Outdoors, hillside homes have gate hardware and lights that face strong sun and Santa Ana winds.
Big order or a single knob, same care.
Homeowners send us one faucet. Companies in and out of state send production runs of hundreds or thousands of parts. Both get a written quote and the same inspection before anything ships back.
Diamond Bar orders come to us this way.
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
Diamond Bar homeowners and offices usually ask these first.
Yes. Shiny 1980s brass is one of the most common things people want changed. Most of those fixtures are solid brass under the lacquer, so they take polished nickel, satin nickel or black very well. Strip the bulbs and glass, coil the wire, and send photos so we can quote.
Yes. We plate 24k gold over a nickel barrier, in bright, satin or two tone finishes. Gold accents look rich on lighting arms, pulls and decorative pieces. Tell us which parts should be gold.
Many do. Tag each piece by floor and door and include a list. We finish the whole set to match and return it sorted for quick reinstallation.
Yes. Community jobs like that suit us well. Send one cap as a sample with the total count, and we refinish every piece in the same color and sheen, usually powder coat for outdoor use. We can return them street by street so your crew can reinstall in order, and we keep the color on file for future repairs.
Yes. Brass and silver plated serving pieces can be stripped and replated, and stainless can be polished. Food contact pieces get food safe silver when silver is chosen.
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.
