Gold Plating in Reading
Genuine gold replating for jewellery, watches, hardware and fittings across Reading. Free quote, two-year warranty, insured delivery both ways.
Reading is the largest town we serve in the Thames Valley and sends us the widest spread of work: technology and electronics components from the business parks, retail and hospitality fittings from the town centre, and a constant flow of jewellery, watches and household items from RG1 to RG6. Volume does not change the process — every item is assessed, prepared and inspected individually.

Volume Does Not Change How a Piece Is Handled
Reading sends us more work than any other town we cover, and the thing that protects quality at that volume is that nothing is batched by convenience. Each item is assessed, prepared and inspected on its own, and the plating specification follows the piece rather than whatever else happens to be in the workshop that day.
Gold plating questions, answered.
Everything you need to know about gold plating, including costs, durability, processes, and what to expect. These answers are based on real industry standards to help you make confident decisions before plating your items.
Can you match plating to our brand's gold across repeat runs?
Yes. Karat, tone, texture and thickness are recorded against your account after the first approved run, so the tenth batch matches the first. Where your standard is defined by a reference sample, send one and we work to that rather than to a description.
Do you offer trade pricing and accounts for Reading businesses?
Yes. Repeat and scheduled work is priced differently from one-off retail jobs, and regular clients are set up on agreed terms. Tell us the likely volume and frequency at enquiry stage and the quote comes back on that basis.
How long does it take to get an item back in Reading?
Most items are plated and returned within three to five working days of reaching us, and Reading is comfortably next-day for courier in both directions. If you have a deadline, say so when you enquire and we will confirm whether it is achievable before you send anything.
Do you serve businesses across Reading and the Thames Valley?
Yes. We work with manufacturers, jewellers, designers, retailers and fit-out contractors across Reading and the wider Thames Valley, offering batch plating, colour matching to your brand standard, NDAs where required and trade pricing on repeat work.
The Thames Valley technology cluster means much of our Reading commercial work is functional as well as decorative — gold on contacts, connectors and housings — alongside retail display, hospitality fittings and branded product runs.
