chrome plating

In answer to Ash's question, you email photos of the parts you need doing. They then get back to you with a price, I always reply with "I'm a regular and can you do a better deal? This mostly works".

Prices have risen recently but what I can tell you that this company is probably the cheapest with a turnaround time usually of about four to five weeks. I have sent individual pieces by post but most recently I've delivered and picked up whole bikes for re chroming as in this photo and the one above.

That looks like a nice job Ziggy. Don't say if your not comfortable, but how much did that set you back. Also, how rusty were they before plating. Cheers Roy.

O.K., the re chroming in both photos set me back just over £1000, can't remember exactly. They seem to have set prices for rims, handlebars, fuel tanks etc.

The items to be re chromed were not that rusty, just faded chrome, light surface rust and scrapes. I also had a stainless steel front mudguard polished in there too.
