How it works
- Request a quote. Send us details and photographs of your item, and tell us which finish you want.
- We assess and quote. Price depends on the item's size, its base material, its existing finish, the surface preparation needed, complexity, your chosen finish, quantity, and collection and delivery. Our minimum project charge is £250.
- Send us your item. If you are outside the UK and UAE, complimentary insured DHL collection is included in your quotation. Worldwide insured collection is available through our Dubai headquarters and our UK service centre. We can also source an item on your behalf.
- We plate your item. Preparation, plating and inspection in our own workshop. Turnaround depends on the item, and is typically within 7 working days.
- Capacity and Onsite Plating. Our Dubai facility houses a 3.2 by 2 metre plating tank, with a further tank at our UK service centre measuring 2 by 1.5 metres. Items too large for either tank, or fixed in place, are plated onsite using brush plating.
- Insured return. Your item is returned by insured worldwide delivery, included in the agreed quotation.
