Industrial Shot Blasting
Precision surface preparation for high-performance industrial coating systems. At TMF – Total Metal Finishing Ltd, shot blasting is far more than a cleaning process — it is a precision surface engineering operation that creates the foundation for every successful coating system. Whether components are destined for powder coating, wet paint, Electrophoretic Deposition (E-Coat) or Aluminium Thermal Spray (TSA), long-term coating performance depends upon the quality of the surface preparation carried out beforehand.
Metal Pre-Treatment
Preparing metal for long-lasting protective coatings. At TMF – Total Metal Finishing Ltd, pre-treatment is one of the most important stages of the finishing process. Before powder coating, wet paint or E-Coat can be applied, the metal must be properly cleaned and chemically prepared — helping coatings bond correctly, improving corrosion resistance and extending the life of the finished product.
Electrophoretic Deposition (E-Coat) Services
Advanced corrosion protection for complex metal components. When corrosion resistance matters, E-Coat is one of the most effective finishing systems available. At TMF – Total Metal Finishing Ltd, we provide high-quality Electrophoretic Deposition (E-Coat) for manufacturers, OEMs and engineering businesses across the UK. Using our modern E-Coat facility, we deliver a consistent, fully enclosed coating that protects complex metal components from corrosion while providing the perfect foundation for powder coating or wet paint. Whether you're producing one-off prototypes or high-volume production batches, we'll recommend the right coating solution to maximise product life and minimise maintenance.
Industrial Powder Coating Services
Durable powder coating for industrial and engineering applications. At TMF – Total Metal Finishing Ltd, we provide high-quality industrial powder coating for customers across manufacturing, construction, rail, agriculture, automotive and heavy engineering — from one-off prototypes and fabricated steelwork to high-volume production.
Wet Spray
High-performance wet paint finishes for industrial and engineering applications. At TMF – Total Metal Finishing Ltd, we provide industrial wet paint spraying for manufacturers, OEMs and engineering businesses across the UK — from one-off fabrications to large production batches.
Aluminium Thermal Metal Spraying (TSA)
Long-lasting corrosion protection for steel structures. At TMF – Total Metal Finishing Ltd, we provide Aluminium Thermal Metal Spraying (TSA) to protect steel components operating in some of the harshest environments — from offshore structures and marine equipment to bridges, industrial plant and heavy engineering projects.
Built for the Demands of Modern Farming
Agricultural machinery doesn't get an easy life. Day after day, components are exposed to a punishing mix of chemicals, weather and mechanical wear.
Our coating systems are designed to withstand these demanding environments, keeping your products protected season after season.
- Fertilisers
- Slurry and animal waste
- Crop chemicals
- Mud and soil
- Standing water
- Stone impact
- UV exposure
- Pressure washing
- Mechanical wear
- Changing weather conditions
Agricultural Components We Finish
We work with manufacturers producing a wide range of agricultural equipment. Whether it's a single replacement part or a full production programme, we provide finishes that are built for everyday use in demanding environments.
Complete In-House Finishing Services
Every agricultural application is different, which is why we offer a complete range of finishing technologies from one facility. Our experienced team will recommend the most suitable coating system based on your product, operating environment and durability requirements.
Industrial Shot Blasting
Every long-lasting finish starts with proper surface preparation. Our shot blasting process removes rust, mill scale, weld residue and surface contamination to create the ideal foundation for coating.
Good preparation means better adhesion, improved corrosion resistance and a longer-lasting finish.
Chemical Pre-Treatment
Before coating, components undergo chemical pre-treatment to maximise coating performance. It's particularly important for machinery that's regularly exposed to fertilisers, chemicals and moisture.
- Coating adhesion
- Corrosion resistance
- Finish consistency
- Long-term durability
Electrophoretic Deposition (E-Coat)
E-Coat is one of the most effective corrosion protection systems available for agricultural equipment. Because the coating is electrically deposited, it reaches enclosed sections and complex fabrications that traditional spray coatings can't fully protect. When corrosion protection is the priority, E-Coat is difficult to beat.
- Chassis components
- Brackets
- Fabricated assemblies
- Box sections
- Structural components
Powder Coating
Powder coating provides a tough, attractive finish that's ideal for visible agricultural equipment and fabricated products. Benefits include excellent impact resistance, weather protection, UV stability and a wide choice of colours and finishes.
- Machine guards
- Agricultural attachments
- Livestock equipment
- Gates
- Storage systems
- Fabricated steelwork
Wet Paint Spraying
Where specialist specifications or large fabrications are involved, wet paint often provides the ideal solution. Wet paint is also ideal where future repairs or colour matching are important.
- Epoxy primers
- Polyurethane finishes
- High-build protective coatings
- Customer-specified paint systems
Aluminium Thermal Metal Spraying (TSA)
For equipment operating in extremely corrosive environments, Thermal Spray Aluminium provides exceptional long-term protection. Where maximum corrosion resistance is required, TSA delivers one of the most durable metallic coating systems available.
- Fertiliser handling systems
- Irrigation equipment
- Coastal agricultural installations
- Water treatment equipment
- Structural steel
Designed for Hard-Working Equipment
Agricultural machinery needs more than a good-looking finish—it needs a coating that performs. The result is equipment that stays protected for longer, helping reduce maintenance costs and extend service life.
- Corrosion
- Stone chips
- Scratches
- Abrasion
- UV damage
- Agricultural chemicals
- Moisture
- Repeated cleaning
