Brass Cleaning

Brass Cleaning

We are able to strip, clean and polish most old pieces of brassware and get them looking almost new.

For the past 25 years most if not all brass products will have had an acrylic lacquer coating when new to help protect the surface and reduce the need for regular polishing. Over time this laqcuer breaks down creating a dark patchy effect which is then difficult to clean and polish. We are able to strip the remaining stubborn patches of lacquer so it can be polished using metal polish.

Older brass items and those without lacquer can also be revived even when they look more black than brass! Sometimes this will involve lightly sanding the surface to reveal the golden brass beneath but may just require a good buff on the polishing wheel.

Lead times for small quantities are usually around 1 week. For larger quantities, we will have to send your items to a specialist refinisher, which normally can take up to 3 weeks. We will always let you know before starting any work.

Please contact us by email or telephone to discuss your requirements. It is useful if you can email a few pictures of your items beforehand to give us a better idea of what is required and inform you of the likely cost
