Bumpers: Sand blasting, galvanising painting

So, my Cali imported bumpers aren't quite prepped for the British weather. I've had a look around, asked for some advice and the general consensus is to get them sand blasted, galvanised and re-painted.
I've contacted Joseph Ash here in Kent but they don't do car stuff, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Witham in Essex - Used to use for all my boat stuff. They used to have a minimum weight charge. My local blacksmith used to send stuff to them and would let you tag bits on to his load.

If you have them hot galvanised they buckle up and be useless , you can have them zinc sprayed or similar l, powder coating is reasonably good, I prefer wet spray, it’s more expensive but a better finish and more long lasting

Can well recommend them being powder coated. Had mine done a number of years ago from here:

Still look fresh today and just require a clean up with WD40 - you can see how they look towards the bottom of the page here:
