Maybe check out some hydraulic cylinder rebuilders, the shafts are very similar to fork tubes and they rechrome them during the rebuild. I don't know if they will step out of their comfort zone and work on fork tubes.
There's always Frank's Forks, I have talked to him before and he's very helpful.

It's surprising that there are several company's on this little island providing this service but when I did a quick search for you the only one I found was in California (which is probably further than the UK !!)

the hydraulic places dont do a finish chrome like is needed they tell me, it would be a duller chrome

what was the name of the place in California, easier for me as i live near the border and can ship from WA
