POLISHING

ANTIFOULING AND ANTIFOULING REMOVAL
A fouled hull can cause serious problems, once fouling has a hold on your hull it will rapidly colonise the surface, making it difficult to remove. Prevention is better than a cure. Applying an antifouling paint will prevent the attachment of fouling organisms, such as barnacles, weeds & slime to the hull of your boat. We use only the best anti-fouling paints to ensure your boat remains free of fouling for as long as possible. We can also remove old existing antifouling coatings by scraping back by hand and sanding which causes less damage to the hull than being shot or soda blasted.
COPPERCOATING
Coppercoat is the combination of a specially developed two pack epoxy resin and 99% pure copper. Coppercoat will help prevent osmosis in GRP craft & other extra protection against corrosion in steel vessels. Coppercoat is long lasting and the most durable anti-foul, once treated it lasts for up to 10 years. It can be used on all surfaces including GRP, iron, steel, wood and aluminium.
