At Sherwood Tinning, we believe our plating service is a unique service. Our in-house polishing facilities provide the full range of traditional finishes which can be performed on precious metals.

Here we are able to offer you the ability to have your silverware re-plated to restore it to its original condition.

You can be certain that your silverware will be correctly treated, restored and returned to you in pristine condition. We handle these pieces with precision and care to achieve the highest quality to exceed expectations.

Note: Due to unexpected circumstances; we are currently unable to provide Silver Plating and Polishing in our premises. However; we would be happy to recommend other reputable businesses who could support you with your silver plating and polishing needs.
