We have minimum order charges as follows.

Sulphuric anodising: £100.00

Hard Anodising £175.00

Bead Blasting £75.00

Express service charge (Next day requirement): +100% of total cost.

Parts are priced individually depending on the number of components that can fit on to one jig, the complexity of jigging, and whether any masking is required.

Prices start for clear anodising at £0.35.

The minimum cost for a colour/ black anodised part is £0.45

Natural H=hard anodising starts at £1.00 per part and £2.00 per part for hard black anodising.

We try to turn work around within 3 working days.

This is massively subject to the number of components, how busy we are at that particular time, whether the parts need bead blasting, masking or polishing prior to anodising etc.

If you have a job that requires an express service then you can pay a 100% premium to fast track your work.

Essentially, only aluminium.

Aluminium and it's alloys come in many different forms. The best grade for anodising is 6082 and 7075 although 2014 is okay, but not for hard anodising.

A lot of other alloys have other metals mixed in with them to give them strength and other properties which may be required for certain engineering applications but are not always suitable for cosmetic finishes with anodising.

Forgings, extrusions, sheet metal and parts milled from billet are all forms of aluminium that can be anodised.

Castings, due to their porous structure and foreign metals used when pouring the moulten metal are not usually succesful in anodising.

No part is too small.

Our main anodising vats are over 2 meters long, however this does not mean we can anodise 2 meter long parts.

All the pre-treatment vats, the water rinses, our dyes and seal tanks are somewhat smaller so the maximum size we can comfortably anodise is approximately 1 meter for clear and hard anodising and about 50cm x 50cm for colours.
