I recently used RS Electroplating in Manchester. The guys name is Mark Bray Cotton and he's a member on here. Did a nice job, but not quite perfect. Also a fast 3 week turnaround. Have also used Lancaster Bronze in 'err' Lancaster. Good job but very slow.

I've used the services of Mark @ RS Electroplating in Manchester a number of times. Good to deal with, and realistic as to what can/cannot be achieved

I use Classics & Chrome in Hinkley ( will rechrome exhausts/ wheel rims) but also heard good reports about RS in Manchester.
