Our shot blasting and painting work is ideal for steel, aluminium, and GRP boats, and we also offer additional services such as canopy repair, custom graphics, transom repairs, steel boat fabrications, and secure mooring options here in Castleford. Whether you own a leisure cruiser, narrowboat, wide-beam or commercial craft, we tailor every job to your vessel’s condition and intended use.
Shot blasting is a mechanical process that uses high-velocity abrasive material (such as silicon iron) to clean, strip, or prepare metal surfaces. This forms the foundation for high-quality boat painting, blacking, or coating systems, ensuring optimal adhesion and long-lasting protection, particularly important for steel boats and structural areas involved in welding services or engine repair access work.
