I'm fairly sure no camera techs actually do lens recoating. It is a very
specialised job. Firstly the old coatings must be VERY carefully
polished off without changing the curvature of the glass element, then a
new layer or layers are applied to very tight tolerances generally in a
high vacuum. It's not too hard finding companies that apply optical
coatings, much harder finding optical technicians who can remove the old
coatings
