I have a few items to sort out this winter amongst which are some bumpers to be re-chromed and spotlight bowls that need re-silvering , any reccomendations welcome please as I do not want sub standard work and would rather pay a bit more for a better job. I seem to remember seeing somewhere near Brentford football club once , is that one still going ?

Over the years I've given most of the 'good' chrome plating firms in the country the opportunity to do top work. The ONLY one I now use & would recommend without any hesitation is S & T Electro Plate in Yate (Bristol). Ask for Kim & specify exactly what level of job you want, they ain't cheap, but as above!
Good luck, Al.

London Chroming Co on the Old Kent Rd are very good. They rechromed a pair of MGB GT bumpers several years ago. Not the cheapest but you pay for what you get. The premises are very old fashioned with a remarkable array of products.
Sorry rediculous money. Took a load of bits for my Harley there a few years ago. Quoted £2500 + vat for some polishing and re chroming. Was recommended to use a chap in Royston. Doug Heath. For the same components £600. He's a one man band and his quality is excellent.
