Antifoul Stripback & New System Applied

Antifoul stripback: we remove failing coatings, fill and fair surface imperfections, apply new barrier coatings and antifoul systems to create a sound foundation for lasting protection.

Years of antifoul build-up and failing adhesion lead to peeling, flaking and unpredictable results. A full stripback takes your hull back to a sound surface so we can apply a new system that actually bonds, restoring performance and coating life.

What you get

  • Removes failed or incompatible coatings
  • Restores proper adhesion to the hull
  • A much longer-lasting antifoul
  • Best-practice surface preparation

Common signs you need this

  • Antifoul flaking or peeling off in sheets
  • Layers of incompatible antifoul built up over the years
  • Recurring blistering or coating failure
  • New antifoul that keeps failing early

How we do it

  1. Step 1

    Full stripback

    Existing coatings removed back to a sound surface, by soda blasting or mechanical methods to suit your hull.

  2. Step 2

    Surface preparation

    The hull is cleaned, dried, primed and tie-coated to manufacturer spec.

  3. Step 3

    New system applied

    A fresh antifoul system applied in full-build coats, with edges and the waterline reinforced.

Ideal if…

  • Your antifoul is failing or peeling
  • You're switching to an incompatible system
  • You want a long-term reset, not a patch-up
  • You're preparing for sale or survey
