C & E Plating have been using Electroplating since 1951, combining traditional methods and modern technology to create the best possible finishes.
Since then, our expert craftsmen have proudly been providing the finishing touches by hand, taking your ideas and turning them into reality. Delivering not just a quality plating service but a superior customer experience, able to offer unique and bespoke solutions for all finishing requirements.
Every single item that leaves the workshop is inspected individually and will have had the expert hands of one of our craftsmen on it. Whatever process is undertaken to deliver the superior finish every item is hand wired, electroplated, and hand finished before being quality checked and inspected.
We are able to provide a wide range of finishes and have a particular renown for Gold, Bronze, Black Chrome, and Rhodium finishing.
We offer a range of finishes, and we are proud to demonstrate some of them here. However, as expert craftsmen who offer unique and bespoke solutions for our clients, we will work with you to find your desired patina. For example, if a more robust base is needed on your component, we are able to copper plate an item before it is then plated with the relevant finish, to ensure both functional and visual high quality.
Whatever the ultimate appearance you are looking for, using our expert knowledge, we will do our best to help you acheive it.
