Blacking

We offer bottom blacking for narrowboats and wide beams up to 70’. This includes high power jet washing and 2 or 3 coats of your desired coating. Whilst your boat is out of the water we can replace the anodes and do a general check of rudder and stern gear.  We also offer our customers jet washing or hardstanding only if they decide to undertake the blacking.

£7.80 per foot for our blacking prices (plus craning fees). + VAT. Craning takes place on a Tuesday or Thursday but your boat can be left with us on any day of the week for your convenience. Alternatively, if you would like to Black your boat yourself we offer hard standing (subject to availability) on which you can carry out the work.

Paint & Signwriting

We offer full repaints for narrowboats and canal boats up to 70ft. This can be anything from minor touch-ups to complete repaints. To finish off your new paintwork we can also get your boat sign written, either by traditional hand Signwriter or by stick-on transfer. You send us the design you require and we will quote for either service. All paintwork is priced on a quote by quote basis.

Please call us for a chat or for a comprehensive quote.

Craning

We are able to crane narrowboats and wide beams up to 70ft in length. Craning takes place every Monday to Friday 10am – 4pm.

Hull Overplating

Steel pitting is a common issue for narrowboats and widebeams, as hulls naturally wear over time due to electrolysis and environmental exposure. Even with regular maintenance, minor pits can deepen into areas of corrosion, compromising the hull’s structural integrity. Overplating provides an effective solution, adding a protective layer of steel to prevent further pitting and extend the hull’s lifespan.

At Wincham Wharf, each overplating project includes a continuous watertight weld, ensuring a strong, seamless bond for durability and water resistance. Our team’s careful welding techniques deliver a reliable finish that protects your vessel.

Shotblasting

We provide professional shotblasting for narrowboats and widebeams including the hull, base plate and cabin. This process removes paint, rust, and debris, leaving a clean surface ready for re-coating and maintenance.
