International Toplac Paint 750ml

The brand leading gloss paint for narrowboats
These tins of gloss enamel are ideal for cabin sides and hold their gloss and colour for years.

Sikkens Gloss Paint 750ml Tin

We are one of only a few chandleries in the UK priveleged to be selling this excellent paint from Holland. There are only a limited range of colours, but if one of these is suitable for you then it is excellent value for money.

Hempel Gloss Paint (previously Blakes Paint)

Blakes have supplied a popular range of gloss paint for a number of years. It is available in 750ml and 2.5 litre sizes

This brand has now been relabeled as Hempel paint - paint supplied may bear the name Blakes or Hempel, depending on stock.

Rylard Gloss Enamel

Rylard paint, whilst being an excellent marine gloss paint is lower in cost than most other marine paints. This makes it a popular choice where economy is important.

Masons P Type Gloss Enamel

Many top class boat builders paint boats in Masons paint, recognised as one of the best quality paints available for boats. Many boaters are also painting their boats with this paint. We stock a small range of colours, but can get hundreds of shades if you can supply the colour name and code. If you want shades or quantities not shown online, please contact us and we will supply what you require.

Please note that this paint is normally supplied in 1 litre tins rather than the more usual 750ml tins

Wright-it Signwriting Paint

These paints are the ideal thing for the lettering and patterns on the side of your boat.

Quick drying enamel paint in a range of colours with good coverage and long colour life.

These paints are specially made for signwriting and are in 500ml tins. Please email us if you would like samples of any colours listed.

Protectakote

This is the best paint for non-slip applications. It conains small rubber granules wich are not only kind to hands and knees, but also kinder to any previously applied primer or other paint. It is meant to be applied quite thickly at about 1 square metre per litre, but I have found that on boats you can get a good surface at about 3 sq. m per litre.

Colours marked UVR have greater ultra-violet resistance (at greater cost)

Rylard Water Tank Coating

This is a bitumen based water tank coating for painting the inside of steel water tanks. It is approved for use with drinking water.

It is supplied in 1 litre tins

Craftmaster Gloss Paint 1 litre Tin

After many years of trying we have at last persuaded the manufacturers of Craftmaster paint to let us supply it.

This is probably the next best paint after Masons, but easier to use and get a good finish with. Supplied in 1 litre tins.

Craftmaster Undercoat 1 litre Tin

If the colour you want isn't listed here, please contact us and we will add it. As an introductory price we have knocked £2 off a litre
