Default Chrome plated bronze restoration

I've got four opening ports, an outhaul, and a gooseneck fitting from my 1963 Islander sailboat that need rechroming. The parts are plated bronze and the chrome is in bad shape. I've e-mailed around to some of the platers I could find online but haven't heard anything back. I'd prefer to find someone local to deal with, does anyone know a plater in north-central Florida or south Georgia that does replating?

If I can't find a shop, is this something I can do myself? I looked at the Caswell stripping and plating kits, does anyone have any experience using them on bronze?

Here is a picture. The four ports are all similar to the one shown.
