Chrome plating in South East?
« on: July 04, 2017, 11:58:57 AM »
Have a pair of handlebars that I would like to get re-chromed. Contacted London and Brighton Plating but they have advised that they no longer undertake such restoration work?

Any recommendations for good plating services in the Eastbourne/Brighton or South East area?

Ashford Chroming and Plating but I found them very expensive.

I had a CB750 luggage rack re-chromed by Ashford Chroming last year, not perfect, but difficult item to prepare
The original chroming was removed (as image) before hand.

I used Ashford Chroming for my K0 rear mudguard as one i live near enough to deliver it myself and they triple coat .
They are just middle men i have since found out so don't know who actually did it.
Butterworth in Ramsgate are ok but very long winded.
