Surface finishing

Religious Object Restoration for Places of Worship

A temple, church, mosque or other place of worship often holds many metal items, and from time to time these need surface maintenance or restoration to stay bright, clean and free of tarnish.

Overview

What we do

Most worship and ceremonial items are made of silver, brass, gold, copper, bronze, nickel or other metals.

We help keep worship or ceremonial items in good order, often avoiding the need to replace valuable pieces, since most metal items need some surface maintenance to prevent rust, corrosion or tarnishing over time.

Processes we may use include electroplating, metal surface repairs, soldering, metal stripping, metal polishing, and lacquer or paint finishing.
