Here at Dinkie Dannies we have several finished products for you to choose from when selecting the type of cast to have of your child. The various options allow you to choose something to suit your budget, while providing you with a unique item, which will last a lifetime.
The most reasonably priced item is a waxed and polished plaster cast of your child. This item is made of very strong plaster, which has been mixed with glue to ensure it is going to stand the test of time. We then polish this item to allow the fine detail of the fingerprints, etc., to show through and frame the item in your choice of frame. We recommend that the plaster casts are framed as they are more delicate than our other casts. However, if you prefer to use your own frame this can be arranged..
Price guide: From £55 for a single cast and £100 for a pair. Please note, prices vary according to the age of the child. Frames are charged separately
and start from £30. |
 Polished plaster cast |
In addition to the polished plaster cast we also offer painted plaster casts. These casts are made using the same strong grade plaster, but are painted and polished using paint mixed in-house. Our paint uses real metal powder and comes in a choice of bronze, brass, copper or aluminium. These casts should also be framed to preserve the cast from knocks and scrapes.
Price Guide: From £55 for a single cast and £100 for a pair. Please note, prices vary according to the age of the child. Frames are charged separately and start from £30.

 Oak framed bronze-painted plaster cast |
All our framed items come with a name and age tag for your child, so you can remember when the cast was taken, and as your family grows distinguish one child’s cast from the other. All our frames are made in England to order.
We also make cold cure metal casts as freestanding ornaments. The coldcure
casts are made using resin and metal powders and are stronger than the
plaster casts. They come in a range of metals, bronze, copper, brass and
aluminum. Being freestanding you can pick them up and study the features of
the finished item while wondering how your baby was ever that small. We can
also frame these items if you prefer. Price Guide: From £125 for a single cast and £240 for a pair. Please note, prices vary according to the age of the child.

 Freestanding cold cure aluminium casts |
We also handle solid bronze casts. These casts are the superior casts available, weighing around three times that of a cold cure cast. We make the cast and lost wax mould in house and send this to a foundry, which pours the liquid metal into the cast. The foundry then finishes and polishes the cast for us. Due to the nature of these casts and the current high cost of bronze they are expensive, starting at £450 a pair, but they truly are the superior cast available. |
 Solid bronze hand casts |
The casts described here comprise our most popular range of products. Please see our Special Casts section for further products, such family casts, belly casts and other more unusual casts.
