You might look through Cyclart's pricelist to get an idea of their prices for chroming certain areas. Not cheap, but good reference material.

If you're fairly handy and don't give up easily you could refinish things yourself. It'll entail stripping the original chrome (probably), sanding and polishing things, doing it up with one of those Caswell kits, and probably sanding and polishing some more. And if the finished product enrages you things will be no worse off than now - paint for everything.
None of your options are particularly good but I'm all for making the best of such situations.
