I figured it was one of your neighbours and you had spelt his name wrong (Ion instead of Ian). :D Doubt that a company like this will want twenty quids worth of work.

I visited Ionbond last year for work purposes. They coat everything there, from those fancy gold power socket covers to Rolex watches. They also coated all of the Olympic torches for 2012. The guys there are friendly enough, would drop them a line purely out of curiosity. Heck, they even list "firearms" as part of their coating services:

Haha, funny. I'm sure I saw a gold plated Lee Enfield No5 not so long ago. I think it might have been on the US site ArmsList or something similar.
