Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in Rancho MirageWe handle metal plating for Rancho Mirage country clubs, estate owners, medical centers and resorts who mail parts to our Oceanside shop. Plumbing fixtures, lighting, clubhouse hardware and patio pieces come back stripped, plated and insured.
Where presidents came to rest and play golf.
Rancho Mirage has long attracted presidents, entertainers and executives, and the Sunnylands estate, once used for summits with world leaders, still stands on its grounds. The city is full of gated country clubs, golf courses and large estates, plus a major medical center. Resorts line Highway 111, and the summer sun is fierce.
Rancho Mirage pieces cross the pass by ground and usually arrive in one business day. Photos are enough for a written quote. We strip, plate or coat and inspect everything before the insured return.
Estate owners and designers send plumbing fixtures, chandeliers and door hardware for gold, polished nickel or brass. Country clubs send clubhouse and locker room fixtures. The medical center sends grab bars and handles, and resorts send pool rails and patio pieces.
Rancho Mirage orders often include gold 24k plating, nickel plating and brass plating, plus chrome plating and powder coating.

Rancho Mirage estates are often remodeled with the finest finishes: 24k gold faucets, polished nickel lighting, satin brass door hardware. Designers send complete sets so every room matches, and we color match samples by hand. Many owners are seasonal, so work is scheduled for summer while they're away.
Country clubs refinish clubhouse bar rails and locker room fixtures during the quiet months. The medical center sends grab bars and handles in rounds. Resorts along Highway 111 send pool rails and patio furniture, which come back in light colored powder coat that stays cooler. Clubhouse locker rooms often have dozens of matching faucets.
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.
Rancho Mirage projects come to us in these steps.
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
Rancho Mirage estate owners and clubs usually ask these.
Yes. We strip worn gold, polish, add a nickel barrier and plate bright, satin or two tone 24k gold. Summer is the ideal window for seasonal homes. We send quotes and updates to your designer or house manager, and ship finished pieces wherever you choose before you return in the fall. Matching towel bars and robe hooks can come along so the whole bath matches.
Many do. Fixtures go out in rounds labeled by locker bank and come back before the season opens. Golf cart hardware and bag stand fittings come in too.
Yes. Chrome over nickel resists hospital cleaners best. We return each round labeled by room. Each round comes back sorted by room and wing.
Yes. Plated rails are stripped and replated, and stainless rails can be polished. Rinse off chlorine now and then.
Mild soap, warm water and a soft cloth. Dry them after use, and avoid abrasive cleaners. A gentle touch keeps gold bright for years.
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.
