Marine Painting Services

Fairing is the process of filling holes, scratches and shallow voids, reshaping contours or grinding down bumps to blend and prepare the boat hull prior to painting.

Excellent preparation is the key to an excellent paint finish. Our highly dedicated team have years of experience and a keen eye to ensure the highest quality results are achieved consistently, every time.

Any boat, launch or yacht that is moored in seawater can collect marine pests in the growth (biofouling) that builds up on the bottom of the vessel. Anti-fouling paints are a range of specialised underwater hull paints that are applied as the outer layer to the hull of a ship or boat to slow the growth and/or help remove subaquatic organisms that attach to a hull which can affect a vessel’s performance and durability.

Anti-foul coatings should be applied annually or if the paint has been scraped or damaged, or if persistent fouling is occurring. Marine Reflections are experts in boat maintenance and can haul, clean, prepare and apply anti-foul to your vessel as part of a regular maintenance schedule.

Your new sea-craft is a luxury and an investment and the final paint finish on your vessel should reflect that. The Marine Reflections team can advise on the best coating and help you select your colour combinations to ensure an outstanding, luxurious finish that will look stunning on the water.

Restore your old tired boat and give it a new lease of life with a complete re-paint. Marine Reflections can lift, clean, repair and prepare your boat to ensure an outstanding finish. As well as improving the appearance of your vessel, painting helps to protect your boat, makes it easier to keep clean and safer to sail. Painting will protect steel and aluminium against corrosion, wood against rot and weathering, underwater areas against fouling and decks from abrasion.

Your vessel is an asset that will require regular maintenance. Ideally you should haul and wash your boat every 3 – 6 months and prior to travelling between harbours.

Some harbours require vessels to have been recently cleaned before visiting to prevent the spread of marine pests. Marine Reflections can haul out and wash your boat in our facility that contains and treats the wash-off, ensuring you are all set for your next boating adventure.

Gel-coat surfaces will naturally oxidise and will get a chalky appearance if a simple cut and wax is not performed annually. Once a gel-coat begins to oxidise, surface deterioration speeds up dramatically.

A lot of people think that if you leave a gel-coat surface for three years it will just cut and polish back to a satisfactory standard. This is not the case. If you leave a gel-coat surface for three years it typically takes 4 to 5 times longer to restore (and is more expensive) than by doing an annual cut and polish as part of a regular maintenance schedule.
