S. D Covering & Micro Plating

We’re located at No. 65 N. S. C Bose Road, right in the Swarcarpet area. It’s a crowded part of the city, especially with the metro pillar number 61 right opposite us on the way toward Mg Road and Sikanderpur. We do micro plating and covering here. It’s a lot of work with tanks and solutions. You have to be careful with the timing or the finish doesn't come out right. The shop smells a bit like chemicals, which is just part of the job. We have bits of metal and wire all over the place. It’s a small shop, so we’re always bumping into each other when we’re busy. We’ve been here a long time, watching the metro get built and the street change. People bring in all sorts of small items they want plated. We just take them, put them through the process, and hand them back. It’s not a clean job, our hands are usually stained or dirty by the end of the shift. We don't have a website or anything fancy. People just find us by walking down NSC Bose Road or hearing about us from a friend. Sometimes we have to redo a piece if the plating doesn't stick properly. We just stay focused on the tanks and make sure the electricity is running right. It’s a lot of standing on your feet all day, but it’s what we do. We usually take a break when the sun is directly overhead and the street gets too noisy for us.
