Thinking about having something Gold Plated?
Here's how our company works...
By far the best method of obtaining a price from DORSET GOLD PLATING is for us to see a picture of the item that requires gold plating.
This will allow us to give an exact price to the customer and not estimate the cost and have to increase the price when the item arrives for whatever reason.
Please send your pictures and list as much information as possible to mail@dorsetgoldplating.co.uk
1. Determining a gold plating cost estimate by phone.
Just call us 0845 2573614 or e-mail us. We will first ask you a few simple questions about the characteristics of the item(s) you want to have gold plated.
Try to pre-measure the dimensions before calling if possible, note the physical condition and describe to us over the phone or by e-mail the item(s) you want to have gold plated.
Knowing the exact dimensions prior to contacting us is not critical, although it gives us a better idea of the item(s) size and unique characteristics and we can give you a more exact plating cost estimate.
2. Condition of the item(s) you want to gold plate.
It is important that the item(s) you are sending in are in fairly good condition. The pre-existing condition of the item(s) usually determines the quality and appearance of the finished product.
After we have a description of the item(s), we will calculate an estimated gold plating cost and give you a verbal or written quote over the telephone or by e-mail.
Some items can be restored that are in really bad shape. Every item is different. It all just depends on how deep the oxidation and "pitting" are in the base metal, the detail of the surface of the item, the physical shape, thickness of the item, etc
If you determine you want your item(s) to be gold plated, the next step is to send us the item(s) you want to be plated. We suggest wrapping your item(s) individually in tissue paper, newspaper or bubble wrap and placing them in the center of a corrugated cardboard box using packing media (newspaper etc) to cushion your items for the journey through the mail to us.
Upon arrival to our plant we will assess the item and contact you with an exact final gold plating cost before the work is performed.
With your approval, DORSET GOLD PLATING will proceed to plate your item with a beautiful pure gold metal finish.
