I don't know what they're called, but there is a place out sockburn/hornby way that does it. I think they charge around $1 per KG of the item being dipped.
More than that I couldn't tell you.

Nah greg is an electroplater. Zinc plating uses an electric current to draw the plating to the item. Galvanizing is just dipping the item in a monster tank of molten zinc. Galvanising gives better protection as it gives a thicker layer of protection.
