  Corrosion is the age old enemy of some metals. Whilst in most cases, rust can be cured, it can often be expensive and so prevention can not only be better than cure, but also cheaper in the long run.

We've been looking for years to find a firm who could chrome alloy engine casings for us without charging a ludicrous price or taking forever. Job done! Dorsetware!Special one off jobs as well, we made a custom sissy bar for a trike we were building 7 days later, sissy bar fitted and looking marvelous and resplendent in new shiny chrome plating!

Took some parts from an old convertible car I am restoring for rechroming, never having done this before. All at Dorsetware were so helpful, and their price was competitive. I have just had the parts delivered back to me for free as they had another delivery nearby, and the finish is outstanding, better than new. I would not hesitate to recommend Dosetware, and will certainly use them again.
