Built here. Rebuilt here.
Manufacture and repair with plating, grinding and testing under the same roof. High-quality material and tight practice give long cylinder service life and lower operating cost.
What the repair route
actually involves
Most cylinders arrive scored, leaking or bent. We strip and assess first and quote against what we find, not against a guess — then the rod is machined, re-chromed, ground and honed back to size before the unit is reassembled with new seals and pressure tested.
Because the chrome bath, the grinders and the test rig are all ours, a rebuild does not sit in three separate queues at three separate suppliers.

A picture of the score and the rod diameter is usually enough for us to tell you whether it is worth rebuilding.
