Galvanising in the North East/Yorkshire?

I'm looking to get my new car trailer Hot Dipped and was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to who I should use.
The trailer weighs about 400kg (probably a bit less) and is about 16' long and 5'6" wide.
There are no box sections.
I've had quotes ranging from £400 from one of the places in Hull, to £175 from a place in Bradford.
Does this sound reasonable?
Anyone recommend anywhere?
Cheers in advance!
Owelly.

Careful if you go for hot dipping, it fills everything with molten zinc. Make sure you have suitable drainholes where necessary, or you'll have a very heavy trailer. Check with the dealer first.
