You can recut the seats with a hand held tool. Not sure why you need to make it a bigger deal than that.
Chrome quality is a big subject. I would ask someone like SDS ironmongery, basically a quality ironmongers in your area should have a contact. They will have seen results and can advise you on what to expect.

Key thing is re-cutting the valve seats so the leaks are banished, which I am assuming needs a tap place rather than a chroming place to be in overall charge.
