Try Orion narrowboats based at Ashwood. They can do the job, but you'd have to ask them for a quote. Mike and Wendy and Terry will testify to the quality of their steelwork.

Our Springer, built around 1969/1970, has started to develop leaks (recently had a huge adventure running home from Marple to Calveley whilst trying to stop one of them, but that's another story........) We have hard choices to make now - do we use Thumper enough to warrant the cost of re-plating her bottom or are our boating days over? I should appreciate any advice at all about the likely cost and any recommendations of where to take her, bearing in mind we are based on the Shroppie at Calveley, near Nantwich. Cheers Val nb Thumper, at Calveley on the Shroppie [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
