Rang couple more places and got quoted £70+VAT for acid dip - degrease and galvanising. Is the oven treatment necessary would you say? Or does it just improve the finish overall? Will keep looking but just incase can’t find anywhere

 

Howells in the West Mids did my RRC chassis and that was just acid dipped then hot

zinc dipped, that was £500 about 4 yrs ago

The oven treatment burns off all organic material and the company also sold it to me as a process that also converts the rust to loose powder that is then easily and effectively dissolved in a acid dip. So, baking is an added stage to just dipping then galvanizing. The oven treatment and galvanizing cost me £120 + VAT which included the transfer of part from the oven company to the galvaniser which meant I only had to drop off once and pick up once. Handy seeing it was 35 miles away from home and a few miles between the factories. If it were me doing it again, I'd get it oven baked first.
