The best rechroming specialists will be able to tackle most jobs, including bent, dented or damaged bumpers for example that need to be repaired before rechroming takes place. Some can even custom fabricate missing sections. Obviously you’ll need to get a quote before this is done. One thing most specialists aren’t keen on doing, though, are exhausts – the carbon can contaminate their equipment’s filtration – although straight through pipes fresh from a box shouldn’t be an issue, we imagine. more
I have no idea about these things, but my dad asked me to search online for some ways of fixing a chrome. While there are ways to fix them, I would suggest to bring it to the professionals or better yet buy a new one. I’ll just have to tell my dad about the approximate price of repairing a pitted chrome bumper which costs at 300 to 400 pounds as you said, that would be 400-500 dollars. Thanks for the information!
For some, the amount of chrome on a car determines its status in the classic car world. Too much looks tacky though, which is why we reckon Volkswagen got it just right with its cars. Not that it considered bits of trim always had to be given a mirror finish – who remembers the sporty looking Jeans Beetle with its black anodised bumpers, black headlamp surrounds and black external body stainless trim?
Finishers either apply a heavy copper plating, which helps fill any small imperfections that remain, or an electroplated flash cooper plate – the latter of which, with its electrical charge, helps draw the nickel onto its surface. It’s this next coat of nickel which gives chrome its silver like appearance; the best finishes are usually achieved by applying two coats of nickel (duplex nickel plating). Finally, once the nickel is given a polish, a relatively thin layer of chrome is applied. This copper, nickel and chrome process is what is commonly referred to as ‘triple plate chrome’. The standard turnaround time for a specialist to work their magic is generally 3-4 weeks, although expect to wait a bit longer at peak times. more

Typically, chrome is used to add a shiny or protective coating to other metals, and the metal underneath the chrome is usually the source of rust. Removing this rust with household objects is surprisingly easy with some elbow grease, but more serious follow-up maintenance may be required if the rust is widespread and much of the chrome has flaked off. more
Apply paint stripper or remover. Follow manufacturer's instructions when using any chemical paint remover. Apply enough paint remover to completely cover surface of item. Place item in plastic bag and seal. If chrome is too large for a plastic bag, wrap treated area with plastic wrap and secure with tape. In either case, allow to sit overnight. Remove paint using a soft cloth, plastic scraper and nylon scrubber the next day.
Chrome bumpers on classic cars sometimes gets painted. So does chrome on motorcycles or bicycles. Many times a scratch or nick surprisingly reveals the chrome underneath a painted surface. If you're restoring a vehicle and the chrome is painted, there's a good chance that the paint has protected the chrome underneath. It's easy and safe to remove paint from chrome using commercial paint removers or even household products you may already have on hand.
Use oven cleaner. Follow manufacturer's instructions and use oven cleaner to remove paint the same way you use it to clean an oven. Spray oven cleaner on chrome until it is well covered.

Use Lacquer thinner. Saturate a soft cloth with lacquer thinner and let the rag sit on the painted surface to soften the paint. Check every 15 minutes until the paint softens and begins to break down. Then use a soft cloth, plastic scraper and nylon scrubber to remove softened paint and paint residue. here
