Vapour Blasting Pricing & Photo Quotes
Vapour Blasting Pricing
For the most accurate vapour blasting price, send clear photos of your parts first. We quote based on time, size, condition, complexity and any preparation required, then confirm the price before work starts.
Our vapour blasting — sometimes called aqua blasting, wet blasting, or vapor blasting — is priced fairly and transparently based on component size and complexity.
Price Guide
To give you an idea of typical costs:
- Small parts — carburettors, cam covers, side covers, small brackets: £25–50
- Medium parts — cylinder heads, inlet manifolds, rocker covers, alternator housings: £50–100
- Large parts — engine cases, gearboxes, large engine blocks: £80–200+
The full pricing range runs from £5 for very small items up to £400 for the largest, most time-intensive jobs. Most restoration parts fall comfortably in the middle.
How We Price
We don't charge by weight or a flat rate per item. We charge based on how long a job actually takes — which depends on the size of the part, how dirty or corroded it is, and whether any additional prep work is needed (paint stripping, masking, etc.).
A clean engine cover that just needs a blast will cost less than the same cover that's been painted three times and needs prep first. We assess every job and give you a fixed price upfront — no nasty surprises at collection.
What Affects the Price?
- Size — bigger parts take longer in the cabinet
- Condition — heavy corrosion, thick paint or baked-on oil takes more time to prep and blast
- Complexity — parts with lots of fins, channels or internal passages need more careful attention
- Quantity — multiple parts from the same job may be eligible for a combined price
Add-Ons
ACF-50 anti-corrosion treatment — After blasting, freshly exposed metal can start to oxidise quickly. We offer an ACF-50 protective coating as an add-on to keep your parts looking factory-fresh for longer. Recommended for parts going into storage or taking time to reassemble.
Paint stripping prep — If your parts are painted, we can handle the prep work before blasting. Just let us know when you enquire.
