Whether you hire a professional boat painter or tackle the job yourself painting a narrowboat is going to take a lot of paint.
Narrowboat painting cost. The guide rate for narrowboat painting is 100 a foot but that should be taking it back to the metal and starting again. That doesnt include the hull. This goes up to just over 1000 for any boats 66 foot or longer.
Whether you DIY or have a professional paint your boat it will cost a considerable amount of money. The key ones are woodwork plumbing electrical painting. You would pay around 150 a pair fitted for these.
The guide price for a professional paint job these days is about 100 per foot or 6200 for my 62 narrowboat. Meticulous preparation patience and highly developed coach painting skills are exhibited by the top craftsmen and expect to pay over 100 per liner foot of boat for a basic job.

All prices include VAT. I wouldnt go that far but I agree that to have it done properly you could be looking at around 8k I heard in our marina recently someone had paid 12000 though that was a very long boat. We have a full range of blacking solutions available for you from traditional bitumen based applications all the through to advanced 2pac epoxy coatings offering a life expectancy of 10 years.
Another associated cost could be anodes. There was a remark recently I cant remember who said it something like only a fool would have their narrowboat professionally painted. The basic principal is simple I charge 1200 per week inclusive of paint and consumables.
It is then up to you and I to decide how many weekly 1200s you wish to spend on your boat or how many weeks work the boat requires. Ad Gordys Marine now has a service center in Fox Lake. Ad Gordys Marine now has a service center in Fox Lake.
