Tapping an Italian BB Thread - Any shops in (NW) Bristol?

I've got worn threads on my old SS Raleigh, last year I put in a threadless bb which has been fine but is now developing play - at getting on for £20 I think that's premature wear.

Next option is to get the bottom bracket recut, one suggestion is to the Italian standard as there's probably enough metal left in the shell for a decent thread.

So far I've tried Cycle Surgery and Giant in Bradley Stoke - if you know for certain that a workshop has got the tools then can you let me know?

Ta.

    You're best bet is to strip chanset and chain off and drop it down to Argos, branches nationwide and let them ream and sleeve the BB shell. Had it done on one of my frames many years ago.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.
