Metal Restoration for Sandy Homes and Businesses

A suburb at the foot of the Wasatch.

Sandy sits against the Wasatch Mountains in the south end of the Salt Lake Valley, right at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon. Skiers pass through all winter on the way up. The city started as a mining and rail stop, and it now has a soccer stadium, an expo center and miles of family neighborhoods.

A Sandy order is simple to arrange. Take photos and email them. We reply with a written quote. Pack the pieces and send them by ground, usually a two to four business day trip. We strip, plate and inspect, then send everything back with insurance.

Most Sandy inquiries come from homeowners with worn bath and kitchen fixtures. Owners of cabins up the canyon ask about lighting and fireplace pieces. Venues and offices ask about railings and door hardware.

What We Do

Plating Services in Sandy

Sandy households ask for chrome plating, satin nickel plating and brass plating on fixtures, patinas for cabin hardware, and powder coating for railings and outdoor furniture.

Why Sandy Sends Its Plating to DMC

Shower trim, cabin lamps and stair railings.

Utah water is hard, and Sandy is no exception. Mineral scale builds on faucets and shower trim until the finish underneath is etched. We strip the fixture to bare metal, polish it and replate at a proper thickness. It goes back on the same plumbing.

Snow matters too. Railings, gate hardware and exterior lights deal with ice melt from November to April. Powder coating over blasted and pretreated metal is the finish we recommend for those. For cabins, darker bronze and copper tones suit the setting.

    Cleaning removes scale, but it cannot restore plating that has been etched. Replating can. We strip, polish and plate the fixture again in chrome, nickel or brass. Once the brass underneath is exposed, replating is the only way to get the finish back.

    Yes. Nothing about the fit changes. We refinish the visible metal, and it reinstalls on the same valves and cartridges. Send the spout, handles, trim rings and escutcheons, and keep every rubber and plastic part at home. Everything bolts back exactly as it came off.

    Powder coating. It forms a thick baked layer that resists salt and moisture far better than paint. Textured and satin blacks are popular because they hide wear. We strip and blast the metal first, since powder only lasts if the prep underneath is right.

    Yes. Oil rubbed bronze, antique brass and copper patinas are built by hand and sealed. Remove glass and wiring before you pack the fixtures. Canyon cabins often mix iron and brass in one fixture, and we can bring both to one tone.

    Plan for 3 to 5 weeks in our shop plus shipping time each way. Expedited service of 5 to 7 business days is sometimes available, so ask when you request the quote.

    Yes, and most of our work starts that way. We strip the old plating down to the base metal, repair what needs repair, then plate it fresh. New plating over a failing layer never lasts, so we don't do it.

    We do. Along with single pieces for homeowners, we run batches of hundreds or thousands of parts for companies in California and other states. Send a photo of a sample, the quantity and the finish, and we'll quote the whole run.

    Steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, pot metal and zamak. Some of them need extra prep so the plating bonds well, and we'll tell you up front if your part does.
