Hello!

Can anyone recommend a good bike spraying company in the south of England please?

I’m having no luck finding anyone prepared to do a good respray here in Berkshire, I would welcome any suggestions please.

Pretty much all roads in the

Pretty much all roads in the south lead to Argos, but beware some long lead times.  

It does help to talk to them in person with the frame.  If it needs anything like Raleigh head badge holes filling in, broken threads fixing, or alignment work, it all adds up.  

I mailed one to Mercian a few years ago – the shade was way off what I thought the swatch suggested, but it’s a good job otherwise.

Portsmouth: but I don’t know who does the work, or if it’s just as easy to go to a LBS nearer you. https://gcbikerepairs.com/pages/frame-resprays?

Powder coat Eastleigh – you may well have somewhere nearer.  A lot cheaper of course and I got a decent result with a steel lugged frame.  http://www.solentpowderfinishers.co.uk/contact/

please post back if you go ahead with anything

If you haven’t already, consider searching for powder coaters, too. I just got mine done (in the USA, sorry) and am very happy. They can do gloss and candy in powder coat now, so it’s not just the nearly matte look of a Surly frame.

I can highly recommend Argos (not the shop), rather Argos Racing Cycles in Bristol, I couldn’t be more happy with the restoration frameset they prepared and painted for me a few years ago.

You could try Winston Vaz at varonha.co.uk I know a couple of people who’ve had refurbishment work including respraying done by him. He’s based in South London
