Rechroming companies in the Birmingham area
Jaan:
Chroming or any type of finishing is never going to be cheap.
The prep, plating and polishing all take time which is particularly relevant for bikes due to the round tubing, go somewhere cheap and you'll get flat spots on the polishing, ripples in the chrome and/or you'll loose the definition in the welds...
£125 for f/f isn't too bad buddy.

That wasn't F&F. That was just forks. I got the forks done for £40 by a company in Walsall that did a top job in the end.

Not cheap but awesome quality and they are used to doing BMX parts. There are a few of us on here using them.
I have a set of bars, pair of pedals, pair of cranks and spider, and a load of brake and BB parts with them at the minute and that lot is around what you are quoting just for your forks.

Any idea if this company can re-chrome alloy parts? I have a power disc and chainring that i'd like doing. Thanks
