That makes sense....they might end up putting a hole in the bumper during the grind. I didn't think about that.

The bumper is thin to start with.  If they grind a hole in it when removing pits then they will have to add metal before the chroming process (and I'm not sure if that is possible, if it is it sounds expensive).  So yes the chroming process adds material however you can't chrome over a hole and the previous post was warning about the possibility of grinding a hole through the metal when removing pits.
   
  By the way shop carefully, chrome shops are like paint shops, which is to say usually very expensive and yet low quality.  Ask me how I know!
   
  Clear as mud?
