Before you re-aluminise do you know the optical quality of the mirrors? Ie. surface accuracy and smoothness. If of high quality by all means get them re-coated. Go for the best coat available to ensure not having to do it again for a long time.
If the mirrors are not that good optically then perhaps consider a replacement set of optics. To ensure a nice fit you just need to match the diameter and focal length of the primary.

Thanks for the information and advice. I will check to see if they are still in business. Good advice regarding the quality of the optics. I do intend to build a basic Ronchi tester and then verify the optical quality before re-aluminising. Thanks again……
