Gold Plating Taps & Bathroom Fittings
July 18, 2008
As part of our daily work we are often gold plating bath taps, sink, shower & bathroom fittings. The majority of these are old & simply cannot be replaced in order to match the existing set. If you’re lucky enough to find replacements it’s often more cost effective to have the old ones re-plated.
Gold is the most common precious metal that we use to brush electroplate bathroom fittings including the gold plating of copper pipe work.
We can electroplate your items with any precious metal including; 9-24 carat yellow gold plate, 18 carat white gold, rose gold, platinum, silver & chrome.
A bi-metal effect can be achieved by simply plating the tap top in yellow gold & the tap body in white gold. Any combination is possible it’s all down to your personal preference. Please see our gallery photos for examples.

Our Chemicals & The Environment
July 13, 2008
All our work is performed by brush plating. Brush plating is less wasteful and uses less hazardous and more environmentally friendly chemicals than tank plating.
Most tank electroplating chemicals are caustic and poisonous. Our brush plating chemicals are the most environmentally friendly and safest on the market.
Brush Plating History
July 12, 2008
Brush plating was originally conceived in Paris, France in 1938 by Georges Icxi.
Since then brush plating has evolved from the simple touch-up of tank plated parts to a wide variety of repair and surface enhancement applications. Mr. Icxi was joined by Mr. Daloze and together they created the first commercial brush plating process in 1945.
They were granted a French patent for their work in 1948.
