The great bulk of what we do here at S&T is refinishing vehicle parts dating from the early 1900s to about 1980. This means that inevitably, of all the car and bike parts that we receive for refinishing in nickel or chrome, a significant number will be damaged in some way and need to be repaired prior to being refinished. 

It is probably true to say that the optimum time to undertake the repair work is after the stripping and initial polishing stages when the metal is abraded away to a degree which shows up very clearly any mis-shapes, dents, twists etc, and any perforations, splits, cracks or bigger holes. 

If any repair work is attempted prior to these stages, it is often necessary to make further repairs. We make this point for those people who feel competent enough to undertake any repair work themselves. It is important to undertake repair work at the correct stage in the process. We are often asked to fill holes where tow-bars or spot lights had once been fitted but are now no longer required. We are also asked to 'make good' items where part of the original has actually broken off or missing. Common too, is the need to replace missing studs or trapped nuts.

Whether working with steel, brass, copper, zinc or aluminium, we have the experience and the full range of skills and processes to undertake the repair of parts with confidence.
