Gold plating gives everyday metal fittings, fixtures and decorative pieces the warm, luxury look of solid gold at a fraction of the cost. At SRS Star Metal Coating, we plate a wide range of items for homes, hotels and businesses across Dubai, from bathroom fittings to door hardware and decorative accessories.
What Is Gold Plating?
Gold plating is an electroplating process that deposits a thin, even layer of gold onto a base metal such as brass, steel or copper. The base metal gives the piece its strength and shape, while the gold layer provides the colour, shine and tarnish resistance. Because only a thin layer of gold is used, the finish costs far less than solid gold while still delivering a genuine, long-wearing shine.
Why Choose Gold Plating in Dubai
- Dubai’s heat and humidity make tarnish-resistant finishes worth the investment
- A popular choice for hotel and villa fit-outs that want a luxury look
- Far more affordable than solid gold fixtures or fittings

- Backed by our in-house workshop and a free estimate within 24 hours
Our Gold Plating Process
We keep the process simple and transparent from start to finish.
- Consultation: Send us photos or bring your item in, and we’ll advise on the best base metal preparation and gold finish for it.
- Production: Our in-house workshop cleans, preps and plates the item using quality-controlled electroplating techniques.
- Delivery: Most items are ready within a few working days, polished and inspected before they leave our workshop.
Where Gold Plating Is Used
Gold plating suits almost any small to mid-sized metal item, including bathroom and kitchen fixtures such as taps, showerheads and towel rails, door handles, hinges and hardware, light fittings and chandeliers, decorative items like frames, ornaments and sculptures, automotive trim and badges, and jewellery and personal accessories.
Caring for Gold-Plated Items
Gold-plated pieces stay looking their best with simple care. Wipe items with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth rather than abrasive sponges, avoid harsh chemical cleaners and prolonged water exposure where possible, and bring pieces back to us for re-plating if the finish ever wears through with heavy daily use. With reasonable care, a quality gold-plated finish can look great for years.
