We provide an extensive range of services for clients from every industry sector. With a reputation for excellence with companies across the UK, new clients regularly approach us with fresh commissions. While we are happy to answer all your questions regarding our plating processes, certain requests pop up with surprising regularity. To save time for our customers, we have provided answers to those most-frequently asked questions right here.

Unfortunately we do not offer chromium plating as we are a Hexavalent free site.
Can you re gold plate my bathroom taps?
Unfortunately not as our gold is a pure gold for industrial contacts and is too soft for bathroom equipment.
Can you re silver plate my tea pot and cutlery?
Unfortunately the silver process we use is for industrial contacts and therefore unsuitable for this type of item.
