Yes we polish all types of metals. Because we restore brass & iron beds, we polish lots of brass so if you have door handles or any other hardware that needs cleaning & polishing we can help. We can also provide nickel & chrome replating restoration services if required.

People also ask if that means dipping in caustic baths. We certainly do not endorse the caustic bath method of stripping furniture as it can do irreversible damage to the piece of furniture. We strip all our furniture by hand. This can be a quite labour intensive process but there is far less risk of damaging the piece of furniture.
