Nickel Plating


Nickel plating is a hard wearing finish that can be applied to various different materials and often used decoratively . It produces a brilliant lustrous finish which ages over time to produce a slightly yellow appearance.

To prevent the ageing process of the Nickel on smaller items we can apply Chrome which produces a brilliant blueish non tarnish finish that is so well recognised. 


We process a wide array of products supplying many different industries and uses, these include, Medical, electrical, light and heavy engineering, automotive, bathroom and furniture manufacturers. 

All the services we provide are carried out in house so the customer can be safe in the knowledge that their work is always close at hand. 


We have many years of experience in the Vintage & Historic Restoration of Cars, Bikes, Motorcycles & Race car components. This process differs from Nickel Plating of new articles, in as much as Nickel cannot be plated over Nickel ! …. so the original finish will need to be removed by an Electro Nickel Stripping Process. This strips the parts back to bare metal ready for Professional Polishing, before applying a new Nickel layer.

Copper underlayers are available to help with corrosion protection, or filling of defects in the metal surface. For more information click here, or call to discuss your requirements.
