Architectural, Hardware, and Bath

Refurbish and restore your architectural hardware and bath fixtures with our premium plating and coating services.

As noted in the Lock & Hardware industry section – we do loads of door hardware for different manufacturers. We also do restoration work on those ornate hinges and door handles from the turn of the century. But there are hundreds of other items that can be brought back to their original beauty.

Our nickel plating and polishing processes can help return those artifacts to their original turn-of-the-century elegance.

We see dozens of items for refinishing and plating, like rare plumbing fixtures and antique claw foot tub legs, door knockers, lamp bases and light fixtures, fans, decorative components on appliances, and a myriad of other period items.

Renovation specialists, designers and builders use Reliable Plating to restore and preserve unique pieces of history.

Typical services used in the architectural restoration industry commonly include:

Polishing: Solid brass and bronze items can be brought back to their original condition through a careful cleaning and hand-polishing process. Though time consuming, it is necessary to do this by hand so that the intricate details and flourishes are retained. Stainless steel can be polished back to its original shine and luster.

Nickel Plating: This is the shiny original finish for many items from lamps to mirror frames, and ornate door hardware from back in the day. Nickel can be buffed to a mirror finish or have an antique satin look. Depending on the condition of the original, we can often replicate its original finish.

Copper and Chrome Finishes are perennial favorites of restoration professionals, particularly for kitchens and baths.

Optimize the durability and aesthetic appeal of your architectural, hardware, and bath fixtures with our premium plating and coating services.

Designed to meet the highest industry standards, our solutions provide exceptional corrosion resistance and a flawless finish, ensuring long-lasting performance and beauty.
