Metal Restoration for Newport Beach Homes and Businesses

One of the biggest small boat harbors on the West Coast.

Newport Harbor holds thousands of boats, from small sailboats to large yachts, and it is surrounded by Balboa Island, Lido Isle and some of the most valuable waterfront homes in California. That much salt water and sea air means hardware works hard here, on decks, docks and every outdoor fixture by the bay.

Newport Beach owners and crews mail their parts to us. Send photos and a short note, and we write up a quote. A ground box usually arrives the following day. We strip, copper fill pits, plate and inspect each piece before the insured trip back to the harbor.

Yacht crews send cleats, chocks, hawse pipes, rail fittings and steering wheels. Waterfront homeowners send dock lights, gate hardware and bath fixtures. Restaurants and hotels around the harbor and Fashion Island send rails and trim that need to look perfect.

What We Do

Plating Services in Newport Beach

Newport Beach mostly orders boat and yacht parts work, chrome plating and nickel plating, plus brass plating and metal polishing for homes.

Metal Finishing Shop Serving Newport Beach

Deck hardware, island cottages and harborside dining.

Yacht hardware is our specialty from Newport. Bronze and brass fittings with salt pits get stripped, copper filled and buffed, then plated in bright chrome, satin chrome or polished nickel. Crews often send a full set at once so the boat ends up matching from bow to stern.

On Balboa Island and Lido Isle, cottages and newer homes alike have outdoor lights, house numbers and gate latches that the bay air eats away at. Inside, owners want polished nickel or brass that looks custom. Harbor restaurants send rails and fixtures between busy seasons.

    Plating Questions from Newport Beach

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Newport Beach boat owners and homeowners ask these often.

    Yes, and it's the best way to get a consistent look. Number each piece and note where it mounts. We strip and plate the whole set together, then return it labeled so reinstalling is easy.

    Bright chrome is the classic marine look and very durable. Satin chrome cuts glare on deck. Polished nickel is warmer and suits older or classic boats. All three go over a copper and nickel base for corrosion resistance.

    Usually, yes. We strip old plating, fill pits with copper, buff smooth and plate. Very deep corrosion may still leave faint marks, and we tell you that in the quote before any work begins.

    A fresh water rinse every week or two and a soft cloth to dry. On the island, fog leaves a salty film overnight, so a quick wipe in the morning helps most. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which wear through the top layer.

    Many do. Winter is a good time to refinish rails and trim before summer crowds. Send what you can spare in rounds, and we return each round before the next one goes out.

    The shop is open Monday to Friday from 8 AM to 5 PM and Saturday from 9 AM to 2 PM. We're closed on Sunday. Shipments are received Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 4 PM Pacific.

    Usually, yes. Send a photo of the piece you want to match, or ship it along with your parts as a sample. We adjust the finish until the new work sits right next to the old.

    When the work is done and inspected, we pack your parts in fresh materials and ship them back insured. If you're close to Oceanside, you're welcome to pick them up instead.
