As far as I know there is nowhere in Ireland that does hard chroming only chrome plating. I have just got a quote for this light from http://www.ashfordchroming.com as I hear they are very good. This is the reply I got.
Dear Sir,
Thank you for making an enquiry with Ashford Chroming.
I have set our prices for the chroming work as specified - If you scroll down below you can get straight to the Costs they are in bold. Please take time to read below and understand our offer and why you should place your business with Ashford Chroming.
Metal restoration work is a timely, demanding and skilled process. Ashford Chroming offers a high level of work to customers all over the world using state of the art Plant, Chemistry and Skilled Labor.
Preparation is the key to good restoration work and because of the hazardous chemicals used and the dying trade of metal polishing, an expensive one. This is often overlooked to lower costs by many of our competitors.
Ashford Chroming strives to produce consistent high standards of work to satisfy the demands of our many customers and clients all over the world. Please view our work at the link below:

We chemically strip each part first removing all traces of Chrome, Nickel and Copper. We then polish them back to a flawless mirror using a skilled senior polisher. This process helps remove pitting, scratches and flaws in the surface. This is a highly skilled process that takes years of training. Sometimes pitting can be so extensive that the polishing process will further compromise the part. In this instance we will discuss further options with you.
Repairs are often required, and more often can not be established until the polishing process has begun. If repairs are required we will discuss this with you once highlighted.
Your parts are then triple plated using Copper, Nickel and finally Chrome. Each part is given at least two hours of Nickel Plate which adds protection and improved finish to your parts. Work is then hand checked and polished.
Here is our Estimation for work:
To strip, polish and chrome:
1, 2,3 & 4 £25 each
balance of parts £125.00
TOTAL: £225.00 + P&P + vat and Insurances if required.
Please allow a minimum of 28 working days for the completion of the work, although we do have a priority service for work that is needed more urgently. This is offered at a surcharge of 25%, and will be completed within a week. All estimates are subject to our standard terms and conditions which are available at www.ashfordchroming.com.
A deposit payment of 50% is required with orders over £500.00. All prices are subject to standard rate of VAT.
If you would like to place your order please drop me a reply to this mail. You will need to print this email and send it along with all your contact details to us at the postal address below. If you have any specific instructions please make them clear in your paper-work. If you have asked us to arrange collection, and insurance for your goods is required, you must notify us, as alternatively the £50 standard cover will apply. Any charge for extra insurance will be due at time of booking.
I hope you find this estimate acceptable and I look forward to receiving your order or comments.
Kind Regards
Andrew Bates

How about something like this http://mbdogharnesses.co.uk/chain-lead-62-01-03 nickel plated is very close to chrome.
selfdly the more I look at the price the more I think my chrome looks ok
I might even be able to pick another one up on ebay in better nick for less than the price of rechroming http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251163353595?nma=true&si=rhRg2%2FNL%2F1RMIgaG9Vl7fDZDCS0%3D&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2557&orig_cvip=true#ht_500wt_1235 or I might just get the 4 light housing done at £25, if I do I'll let you know.

Oh, dear, I'm going to have to fess up
Have you ever seen someone with a wallet chain? One of those things hanging from a belt loop into the pocket to stop his wallet from being stolen? Have you ever seen someone with an absurdly big one that makes a noise every time he takes a step or sits down?
Have you ever looked at one of those guys and thought "What an arsehole."?
Yeah, basically I'm trying to turn an industrial steel chain into an incredibly tacky piece of jewelery.
Don't judge me! 0 -

For a minute there I thought you were going to say you wanted to beat them over the head with it :pac:
Zing will go dull after a bit of time and you can't really polish it, if it is going to be worn how about plastic http://www.buy.com/pr/product.aspx?sku=226052481 I can see this tread been moved to fashion next 0 -

PM sent..
