Need re-plating of gold bathroom fixtures

I am a homeowner who needs to have the gold plating on the accent pieces of my bathroom fixtures re-plated. The salt air has slightly corroded the base metal which results in a green patina on the gold plating, which can not be removed with out removing the gold plating. There are a few dozen parts, roughly 1 to 2 inch in diameter and up to about 3/4 inch thick, made mostly of brass base material with a polished nickel undercoat. These are accent pieces that screw together with the main chrome pated hardware (towel rack wall mounts, handles, cover plates for valves, etc). To resist the salt air environment, I need a good gold plating with no pin holes if possible.
