If you can get anyone to do it for you (I predict NO one that's any good would consider doing it this summer.) I would think at least $2500, and perhaps more.
As far as the sound, I would predict that the silver plating would change the sound of your instrument about as much as repainting your house (without recaulking) would add to the R-value of your walls.
