© 2012 CIR Electroplating

CIR Electroplating offer its electroplating services to businesses and the general public alike. We produce high quality gold plating, silver plating, rhodium plating, 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 have recently invested in an electroforming system, which is used to plate onto non-metallic objects. It 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 and die cast models

    * Trophies

    * Clocks

    * Antiques

    * Silver ware

    * Light fittings

    * Electrical  and scientific components

        

We always use the highest quality materials to give you a fantastic finished piece, for our gold plating we only use 23 carat gold to produce a deep and lustrous yellow finish. If you want an extremely bright, white gold finish then rhodium will be the metal of choice. As well as silver plating and gold plating we can also accommodate requests for black rhodium/ruthenium plating, palladium plating and even platinum plating.

 

Electroplating can be used to restore life to your most treasured items such as faded or worn jewellery, rings, watches and chains, or to transform an otherwise dull object into something far more eye-catching.  For example, a while ago we undertook a model car restoration job with a request for gold plating. This was a die-cast Corgi Jaguar MKI, which arrived in very poor condition as you can see from the above photograph. We stripped the paint, polished and plated the casting (first copper, then silver plating and finally gold plating), repainted and re-riveted the chassis and fitted new windows and tyres. We’re sure you’ll agree the end result is stunning.

 

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