State-of-the-Art sprayshop
Fully equipped & environmentally controlled
Here at Fox’s Marina & Boatyard, we have a state-of-the-art, environmentally controlled sprayshop, which is fully equipped to paint vessels up to 72 feet in length. Whether we’re spraying topsides or superstructures, our specialist paint and finish team go above and beyond to achieve finishes of the highest possible standard.
In addition to painting, we also offer a number of high performance finishes and services, such as epoxy and gelcoat application, varnishing, antifouling, Coppercoat and other underwater options. As well as our on-site sprayshop and finishing services, we also offer a mobile service – so if you can’t make it to us, we’ll come to you. We’re proud to be an approved spray centre for Awlgrip, Jotun MegaGloss and Alexseal Yacht Coatings and, in addition to bringing older, faded topsides back to life, regularly spray new Oyster and Gunfleet yachts to the most exacting standards.

Varnishing
All-encompassing, world-class service
Varnish that is not well maintained will easily fall victim to damage and flaking at the hands of the sun’s harsh UV rays. If you don’t keep on top of your vessel’s varnishing, you could well find that you need to undertake a much more extensive job, stripping the wood right back and having to apply multiple brand new coats of varnish.
At Fox’s, we are perfectly placed to provide high quality varnishing services to vessels of all sizes. Our highly skilled and professional painting team will ensure that your boat or yacht not only looks striking, but also that it’s robustly protected from the elements. Dedicated to offering an all-encompassing, world-class service, we can also remove any old varnish and restore old wood before applying the new varnish of your choice.
Antifouling
Extensive range of antifoul options
Marine growth effects boat speed, manoeuvrability and fuel consumption. However, different antifouling products offer varying levels of protection depending on the location. Fox’s can offer any of the leading brands and assist with advice on the best type of antifouling to suit each application.
We offer a wide range of antifoul options for your yacht or boat. Using only the very best marine paint brands and calling upon years of experience, you can rest assured that we’ll deliver a high quality finish. Our in-house team can also provide an extensive range of additional complementary services, including painting, varnishing and hull blasting.
Coppercoat
Leading Coppercoat specialists
Are you tired of antifouling your boat each and every year? Coppercoat offers a solution. The strongest, most durable, copper-based antifouling available, Coppercoat is a hard wearing, densely copper filled epoxy resin that provides a high level of antifouling and minimal maintenance, for up to a decade or more, with just a single treatment.
As a leading Coppercoat specialist, you can rest assured that Fox’s in-house team is highly trained and experienced when it comes to the application of Coppercoat coatings. Our sprayshop and finishing team can successfully apply Coppercoat to virtually all vessels, regardless of their size or usage.
Hull Blasting
Removal of paint from any surface
Hull blasting allows us to efficiently remove paint from any surface, from complete hull topside and bottoms, rudder blades, rusty/flaking keel castings to individual components.
Metal fittings can be cleaned up for longer lasting coatings or given attractive bead blasted finish, and delicate timbers quickly and carefully stripped.
An alloy hull with detached coatings requires a different approach to a delicate timber classic requiring antifoul removal. With highly experienced operators, we can offer a range of blasting services to suit any application, be it timber, glass reinforced plastic, steel or alloy.
