Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View ServiceWe handle metal plating for Murrieta homeowners, contractors, medical offices and small businesses who ship their parts to our Oceanside shop. Fixtures, hardware and outdoor pieces come back with a better finish, inspected and insured.
Hot springs history, young neighborhoods.
Murrieta grew from a small hot springs town into one of the fastest growing cities in Riverside County. Most homes are from the last few decades, set against the Santa Rosa Plateau and the hills around Murrieta Hot Springs. Hospitals and medical offices have become a big part of the local economy.
Murrieta parts come to us by shipping. A few photos are enough for a written quote, and a ground box usually reaches us the next business day. We plate, inspect and pack each order carefully, then ship it back insured.
Homeowners send builder faucets and lighting they want in polished nickel or brass. Contractors send fixtures for remodels. Medical offices send handles and rails that need a durable, easy to clean finish, and families send patio and outdoor pieces faded by the sun.
Murrieta orders usually include nickel plating, brass plating and chrome plating, with powder coating and refurbishing for outdoor pieces.

A lot of Murrieta homes came with builder grade fixtures, and owners often want something warmer or more polished. We replate solid metal faucets, lighting and cabinet pulls in nickel or brass. Plated plastic can't be redone, so photos help us sort that out first. Kitchen and bath sets finished together come out the same tone everywhere.
The medical side of Murrieta sends handles, grab bars and rails that are cleaned often and need a tough finish. Outdoors, patio furniture and lights take hard sun, and refurbishing with powder coat brings them back for another long run.
Not sure what your part needs? Send us a photo.
We'll tell you what the metal is, what it takes to bring it back and what it costs. A written quote usually comes back within 24 business hours, and there's no obligation.
From Murrieta, the box does all the traveling. Here's the plan.
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
Murrieta homeowners and offices often ask these.
If they are solid brass or zinc die cast, yes. Some builder fixtures have plastic parts with a metal look, which can't be plated. Send photos and we tell you which pieces work.
Chrome and nickel stand up well to frequent cleaning. Stainless bars can be polished. Tell us the cleaning products used and we suggest the most durable option. Grab bars also need to stay smooth, so we check every edge before they ship.
Yes. We strip it, remove rust, repair small damage and powder coat it in the color you pick. Send sizes, since larger pieces may need freight.
Not really. A soft cloth and mild soap is all it needs. Avoid abrasive pads and harsh cleaners, which scratch any plated finish. For bathrooms, dry the faucet after use and water spots stay away much longer.
Yes. Label each home's pieces and include a list. We keep them separate and return them sorted the same way. It is a good way to finish a whole subdivision of upgrades in one order.
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.
