Chrome Plating
Copper, nickel and chrome with hand polishing between layers, for parts that need a bright, lasting shine.
View in HialeahHeat, humidity and daily use are hard on the metal around Hialeah, from workshop parts to family lamps. Plating brings it back: our team strips each piece, fixes the damage and plates it by hand. We started in 1989 and guarantee the work for 12 months.
Busy shops and family homes, all with metal to protect.
Hialeah is a working city with a big manufacturing and warehouse side, a historic racetrack that still draws visitors, and neighborhoods full of family homes. Metal parts, tools, trim and decorative hardware pass through many hands here, and a good finish matters.
Small shops and makers send machined parts, fittings and tools that need nickel or chrome for wear and protection. Homeowners send lamps, door hardware, bath fixtures and keepsakes passed down in the family. We treat a single piece with the same care as a full production run.
Show us what you have and tell us what you want it to do. A few photos and a short note are enough to begin. We answer with a plain recommendation and a written quote, and nothing starts until you approve it.
People in Hialeah ask for nickel and electroless nickel on shop parts, chrome and polish on trim, brass and gold on lamps and fixtures, silver on keepsakes, and powder coating on gates and frames.

Machined fittings, brackets and tooling from Hialeah's many workshops often call for electroless nickel, since it lays down an even layer in threads and blind holes. Try a few parts first, then release the full run once you are happy with the result.
Florida heat and humidity are rough on bare metal. For gates, railings and outdoor fixtures we recommend durable coatings, while indoor lamps and fixtures can have decorative finishes chosen for the room. We explain the options in plain words.
See the price before you ship a thing.
Snap a few photos from different angles and tell us the finish you have in mind. You'll get a written quote and a realistic lead time. Standard work takes 3 to 5 weeks, and expedited orders are possible when the schedule allows.
Here is how Hialeah customers get parts to us, and the quote in writing always comes first.
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
What shops and homes in Hialeah ask us.
Yes. Runs of hundreds or thousands of parts are normal for us. A few sample pieces can go first, so you can check coverage, fit and color. After approval the rest of the order goes through, and one written quote covers all of it.
It does. Because it is applied chemically, it covers evenly in threads, bores and corners where ordinary plating can fall short. We explain which version fits your parts when we send the quote. We tell you which fits in the quote.
Yes. Many customers are small shops and makers sending a few pieces at a time. A single part gets the same inspection as a large order, and a clear quote comes before any work starts.
Use a strong box or crate, wrap every part and keep metal from rubbing metal. Heavier orders can travel by freight on a pallet. Tell us the weight and count, and we explain the details.
Yes. Brass and bronze lamps, door hardware and bath fixtures plate and polish well. We repair dents and pits and rebuild the finish so it fits the room. Send photos and any markings from the back.
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.
