Silver-Bronze Ltd. They're based in a village south eastish of Farnham in Surrey, but it may be over the Hampshire border. There aren't a lot of chrome finishers left as HSA rules are very strict about the toxic materials. It cost me ~£150 to have two winch barrels done, but there was a lot of preparation needed

Have an address on file (kept on boat) Metal finishers in the Stockport Area. Did a Loveley job on the rocker cover of the Mermaid in previous vessel. Don,t know where you are but if it,s any good to you let me know.

Just look up platers in yellow pages. I got a local company to do some window frames, pretty shocking cost mind you! They also tend to hang on to them until they have a large enough batch to process.
