Services
Hard Chrome Plating
Our hard chrome plating restores worn components to original specifications while enhancing durability. This electroplating process creates a sacrificial wear layer that extends component lifespan. We handle complex geometries up to 12m length and 900mm diameter, serving industries like mining and manufacturing. The high-hardness coating resists corrosion and reduces friction in moving parts.
Cylindrical Grinding
Precision cylindrical grinding services machine components up to 5m between centres. Using advanced equipment, we achieve 1-micron accuracy for external surfaces. This process restores damaged shafts and ensures parallelism for hydraulic components. Combined with chrome plating, it offers cost-effective component refurbishment solutions.
Pump Shaft Repair
Specialised pump shaft repair services restore seal and bearing journals to original dimensions. Our technicians handle both small and large-scale projects with minimal downtime. The process combines hard chrome plating and precision grinding to extend shaft service life. We maintain tight tolerances for critical pump applications across industrial sectors.
Surface Grinding
Surface grinding services handle components up to 800x400mm. This precision process creates flat, parallel surfaces with superior finishes. Ideal for repairing damaged machine bases and tooling components. Our experienced machinists ensure dimensional accuracy for critical manufacturing equipment.
General Engineering
Custom engineering solutions for components no longer available or difficult to source. Our fabrication capabilities complement repair services, offering complete solutions for industrial equipment. We produce replacement parts to exact specifications when repair isn't viable. This service supports maintenance of legacy machinery across multiple industries.

Report
AST has been fair on prices and straightforward in their work. They have done from chrome plating to rust removal for me for almost a year now. Excellent and timely work done. I have tried other companies and they haven't reached my expectations especially when the work is not done after a week.
