Chrome and Nickel Plating for Huntington Beach

Beach air, harbor boats and a busy industrial side.

Huntington Beach is known for the pier and the surf, but it also has a strong industrial base, including aerospace and machine shops in the business areas of the city. Along the coast and around Huntington Harbour, salt air is hard on every outdoor fixture, railing and boat fitting.

Getting work to us from Surf City is easy. Email or text a few photos, and we write up a quote. Approve it, tape up a box and drop it with UPS or FedEx. It is normally on our bench a day later, and it comes home insured once it passes inspection.

Boat owners in Huntington Harbour send cleats, rail fittings and wheels. Machine and aerospace shops send small parts for electroless nickel. Restaurants near Main Street and homeowners all over the city send fixtures, railings and hardware the ocean air has dulled.

What We Do

Plating Services in Huntington Beach

Huntington Beach asks for boat and yacht parts restoration, chrome plating and electroless nickel plating, plus nickel plating and powder coating for coastal homes.

Metal Restoration for Huntington Beach Homes and Businesses

Harbour docks, machine shops and Main Street patios.

Huntington Harbour is full of boats and waterfront homes, and their metal sees salt every day. We strip pitted fittings, copper fill the damage, and plate nickel and chrome. Waterfront homes send dock hardware, railings and lights that need the same kind of care.

Away from the water, machine shops and aerospace suppliers send small parts that need an even coating, often electroless nickel. Restaurants and bars around Main Street send rails and fixtures, and homeowners send faucets and door hardware that coastal air has spotted.

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.

    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.

    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.

    Shipping from Huntington Beach

    Boxes leaving Huntington Beach tend to arrive in Oceanside overnight. A tip from experience: let rinsed parts dry for a full day before sealing the box, or trapped moisture keeps working on the metal.

    Usually. That green crust is corrosion on brass or bronze, and it often sits on top of solid metal. Once we strip it, we can see the real condition, fill pitting, and refinish in nickel and chrome or a sealed brass. Photos tell us a lot before you ship.

    We plate many machined parts with electroless nickel, which deposits evenly on threads and inside holes. Send the drawing or spec and we confirm the coating, thickness and quantity in the quote.

    A fresh water rinse every week or two does the most good, since it washes salt off before it eats into the finish. Dry it with a soft cloth and skip abrasive cleaners.

    Both can work. Chrome over nickel gives a bright, hard finish that resists corrosion. Powder coat gives color and a thick protective layer. We help you choose based on the piece and how it is used.

    We do. Display hardware, bar rails, door pulls and bath trim from Main Street businesses all come through our shop. We can plan the work around your busy season, so pieces come back before summer crowds arrive.

    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.
