Seeking refinishing of brass faucets to nickel

2004

I have 9 bath faucets and two bar faucets that are currently brass. Would like to refinish in nickel rather than replace. Also have 6 ceiling fans that have brass accents. Don't know if it is cost effective to do fans or faucets. Live in Dallas Texas, looking for somebody who does this refinishing

Hi, Dan.

While it is certainly possible to replate faucets and fans if they are special, it usually isn't cost effective due to the labor involved in processing onesy-twosy items compared to factory runs where many hundreds are plated at a time and with less labor. However, with 9 faucets to do, you may have crossed over into the cost-effectiveness zone.
