Repair and Refinishing

Custom Repair and Refinishing
Most metalwork can be refinished for far less than the cost of new. Our craftsmen are trained to restore items of old manufacture, discontinued items, and products from many different current manufacturers.  

Simply Amazing!
This is a recent refinishing and replating project we completed. The chalice was plated in two tones (24 kt gold and silver).

Before & After Tabernacle:

These items had been stored in a sacristy closet for many years. The liner for the vase was lost more than a decade ago. The damage was repaired. The items were refinished and the liner was replaced. The church now has "new" appointments and the congregation can enjoy service with "old friends."

This old crucifix was broken when it dropped. The damaged cross was repaired and some color was added as well as a new stronger joiner.

It is an extremely rare for a Sacred Vessel to be created in solid gold as it is a softer metal. In fact, over the past 55+ years we have only seen a few items (a paten and a chalice cup) made of solid gold. This piece was hand made in Germany over a century ago in 10kt Rose Gold. All the gems on the monstrance are genuine and the enamel work is exquisite. The piece was brought to us about 4 months ago and we began restoration. The weight of the top portion was too much for the stem and base to with stand, so we installed custom crush tubes to help support the weight. There was much soldering work that needed to be done, so the decision to plate in 24Kt Gold was made. The enamels were cleaned, plated, and restored. In the end this timeless piece is now restored and ready to be placed in the chapel. It will be a piece we will remember forever and it was a great honor to be trusted with this job!

What our clients say:

The chalice just arrived and looks marvelious. It is 10x better then our expectations and has saved us hundreds of dollars over buying a brand new one. Our Priest was also very surprised to see it as I set it out for mass today so he would notice it, and it is hard to miss! Thanks Again!
