Guy Vinall Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 I'm looking to get bumpers, door handles & various other small items re-chromed. Grateful for any suggestions on competent and sensibly priced suppliers. I'm just north of Derby, but happy to travel for the right supplier. Many thanks, Guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DIYBOSSCAT Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Hi Guy, I had my front and rear bumpers, front grille badge, rear bumper number plate lamp holder and fuel cap done by Castle Chrome in Dudley (01384 214429 https://castlechrome.co.uk) nearly 2 years ago for I think £1140. Not cheap, but I know the parts fitted ok when I took them off and the have done a cracking job, really impressed. the front bumper had a crease in it (from a PO) and you cannot tell where it was. Regards, Vince. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Derby plating are excellent but usually busy & a bit pricey but as usual you get what you pay for! I used to get many items plated by them on behalf of a top restorer.

Gary Flinn Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Derby Plating Services (Abbey Street) have a good reputation. I had a front Stag Bumper and Number plate plinth done in the 1990's and the quality was excellent I'm afraid chrome plating isn't cheap though. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwjBgKa3k5n4AhUThlwKHcFMDrUQFnoECA4QAQ&url=http%3A%2F%2Fderbyplating.co.uk%2F&usg=AOvVaw3zC4B7XdWgxaUUxBm6C3Ha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chilp3 Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hi Guy, I would endorse Nigel's post for ACF Howell in Walsall. The quality of the work and service was excellent. You may have to be patient as they are normally very busy although it was worth the wait! Thanks, Peter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Hill Posted June 7, 2022 Report Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) Plus 1 here for Howells in Walsall, my home town. They did a great job on my Midget Bumper’s a few years ago. Edited June 7, 2022 by Paul Hill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
