It's not just the rechroming that is important, the suface finish has to be perfect. If the substrate is pitted it will need copper plating with a self levelling solution and then this will inturn need polishing before nickel plating (which gives it the colour) and then chrome plating to protect it.

There is no way I would advise trying to do it yourself at home.
