Electroplating

CIR Electroplating offers its electroplating services to businesses and the general public alike. We produce high quality gold plating, silver plating, rhodium plating, nickel plating, copper electroforming and vermeil finishes in-house from our state-of-the-art electroplating shop. Whether you have a need for electroplating, or re-plating, CIR Electroplating follows a rigorous quality control procedure to ensure the best possible end result.

Whether you need gold or silver plating, from jewellery and trophies to models and components, we’ll undertake one-off pieces or batches of many items. We have various strike solutions which enable us to electroplate onto a range of different metals and alloys. We use an electroforming system to plate onto non-metallic objects. This can also be used to make components or jewellery, with the original piece (mandrel or mould) being removed after electroforming.

Some of the most common items we provide electroplating for are:

Jewellery ~ Ornaments ~ Die Cast Models ~ Trophies ~ Clocks ~ Watches ~ Antiques ~ Silver ware ~ Light Fittings ~ Architectural Fittings ~ Industrial, Scientific & Medical Components

We always use the highest quality materials to give you a fantastic finished piece, most of our gold plating is done in 24 carat gold to produce a deep and lustrous yellow finish. If you want an extremely bright, white finish then rhodium will be the metal of choice. As well as silver plating and gold plating we can also accommodate requests for rhodium and ruthenium plating, palladium plating and platinum plating.

Electroplating can be used to restore life to your most treasured items such as worn jewellery, rings, watches and chains, or to transform an otherwise dull object into something far more eye-catching.

As well as silver and gold plating we can offer polishing, metal working, soldering and rewiring, with our normal turnaround time of under one week. If you have an urgent request please discuss it with us and we’ll do our best to oblige, sometimes we can even plate while you wait!

I’m afraid we don’t do chrome plating
