What we do
Plan the preparation around the hull.
A marine restoration depends on the material beneath the coating. Hull construction, existing repairs and the intended new finish all influence what preparation is appropriate. Start with those details before settling on a method.
Share photos of the boat out of the water, its dimensions and any information about the old coating. Hull preparation, detached parts and access arrangements need individual assessment; the approach is agreed for your vessel’s material and condition.
Applications
From hull coatings to detached parts.
The material and its condition determine suitability. These common applications help start the conversation.
Metal marine components
Review suitable detached metal parts and fittings, including corrosion condition and areas to protect.
Restoration preparation
Coordinate the required surface condition with the repairer or refinisher who will handle the next stage.
Boat maintenance projects
Plan preparation around the boat’s on-land access, support arrangements and the facility’s requirements.
Why preparation matters
Prepare for the next marine finish.
See the underlying surface
Removing an old coating can help reveal the condition that needs repair or refinishing.
Match the next finish
Agree preparation requirements with the person applying the new marine coating.
Focus on the right areas
Define surfaces to prepare and protect, based on the construction and restoration plan.
How it works
Plan your boat’s preparation.
- 01
Describe the vessel
Send dimensions, hull material, photos and the intended finish.
- 02
Review coating and access
Identify coating history, repairs, on-land support and facility requirements.
- 03
Confirm suitability and scope
Agree an appropriate approach and work area before scheduling.
- 04
Coordinate the next stage
Plan the handover for any separate repairs or coating application.
Application examples
Hull and component examples.
Project pricing
What shapes a marine quote.
Boat size is one factor. Hull shape, coating layers, access around supports and the required next finish also affect the preparation scope. A useful estimate needs vessel and location details.
- Hull dimensions, material and condition
- Existing coating and required preparation
- On-land access and facility arrangements

Before you get started.
Can every boat hull be blasted?
No single method suits every hull. Material, thickness, previous repairs and coating condition must be reviewed before an approach is confirmed.
Can I ask about fiberglass or aluminum?
Include the exact construction and any repair history in your request. Suitability must be established for the specific surface; this page does not promise that every fiberglass or aluminum hull can be blasted.
Does the boat need to be out of the water?
The work discussed here requires accessible surfaces on land. Hauling, blocking, transport and facility access need to be arranged and confirmed separately; do not assume they are included.
Can you remove an old antifouling coating?
Share any product information or records for the coating. Its composition and the facility’s containment and waste requirements need review before the job can be accepted.
Are repairs and a new marine coating included?
They are separate from surface preparation unless expressly included in the quote. Tell us who will handle the next finish so preparation requirements can be coordinated.
