In the US chroming shops are all but totally extinct. It’s an environmentally filthy process, acids...heavy metals...and other yukky stuff involved in the process. I live in south Southern California where there are still a handful of “metal polishing” shops who do the labor-intensive polishing and cleaning and if asked nicely and paid pricely, will send your parts on a mexican vacation for the copper, nickel, and chrome plating treatment all done south of the border.
I know contemporary autos, bikes and motorcycles are largely going chrome-less (Harley-Davidson notwithstanding) but I’m from a different era and chrome still makes me smile.
My Brompton’s few touches of chrome (seatpost...steering bearings, and front hub) really give a nod to it’s 1970’s origins when chrome was still a thing. I dig it!
