Default Where do you get brake drums refurbished?

in the yorkshire area, what should i be searching for.
the rear drums on the capper have got a tad hot in their time and are a lil warped and i want the inside of the drum re-facing do i get a smooth brake feel and a better shoe to drum connection.
or is it cheaper to buy new drums

Any local machine shop should be able to do it for you

You could also try to get some new ones
