Gold Plating in Surbiton
Original door furniture, light fittings and jewellery replated in genuine gold. Collected from Surbiton, matched as a set, returned insured.
Surbiton's Victorian and Edwardian housing throws up a steady supply of original door furniture, window fittings, light switches and fireplace hardware that has been painted over, worn down or replaced piecemeal. Replating the original ironmongery is usually cheaper than sourcing period-correct replacements, and it keeps the details that made the house worth buying.

Keep the Original Ironmongery, Not a Replacement
Period ironmongery in Surbiton's Victorian and Edwardian housing has usually been painted over, worn back or replaced in patches. Stripping and replating the originals keeps the detail that came with the house and costs less than sourcing period-correct replacements. Where a set is incomplete, we can match new pieces to the plated originals.
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.
Are screws, escutcheons and small fixings plated too?
Yes, if you send them. It is the detail most people forget, and one bright modern screw in a plated backplate undoes the effect. Send every visible fixing with the set and it is all done in the same batch.
Do you plate window and sash fittings as well as door hardware?
Yes. Sash lifts, fasteners, stays and casement furniture are plated alongside door sets so a room reads as one finish. Surbiton houses often carry three generations of fittings in the same room, which is exactly the case this fixes.
The handles have been painted over. Can they still be plated?
Yes. Paint, lacquer and old finishes are stripped as part of preparation, which is normally the longest stage of a job like this. Send one representative handle or plate and we will quote per item from there.
Can you replate original Victorian door furniture from a Surbiton house?
Yes, and it is one of our most common jobs in KT postcodes. Original brass and steel ironmongery is stripped, prepared, plated and colour-matched across the full set. Send photographs of a representative handle or plate and we will quote per item.
Contractors and interior specialists working on Surbiton and Kingston properties use us to plate whole sets of ironmongery, lighting and bathroom fittings to one matched colour, with collection and insured return across KT postcodes.
