Polished nickel was the finish of choice on plumbing hardware prior to about 1925. It is also one of the more popular finishes on plumbing hardware today because of the warmer tones as compared with chrome.
We often are asked to identify and match historic finishes on anything from a trip lever to a large rain shower head.
We look forward to assisting you with your project and you can be assured our finishing quality is second to none.
Don’t limit your options in plumbing fixtures to those offered in a catalog. We can work with you to coordinate your finishes to match your preferred selection. Some parts are often not offered in all available finishes. We re-plate trip levers in venetian bronze or oil rubbed bronze or match your faucet manufacturers finish.
Finishes do not typically match from manufacturer to manufacturer -- To get an exact match it is always recommended that you send a tagged sample with your project.
Don’t forget to look at our finishes page to see some of our standard finishes that are available.
If you are planning a large restoration project with multiple baths be certain to tag each faucet or component carefully. We will track each individual part separately for you during the entire process. Careful documentation and project photos ensure that no part is lost during the process.
