PORTFOLIO
Our Featured Work Yacht Repairs
GELCOAT-Gelcoat scratches and chips in a fibreglass boat are a fact of life, however, there comes a time when even the most hardened boat abuser starts to think about fixing things up a bit. Extensive spiderweb cracks, chunks of missing gel or wear through to the glass laminate are worth taking a look at.
The basic procedure for making repairs is surface preparation, gelcoat application, sanding and finishing.
EXCELLENCE
Our Services
Slick Hull provide a professional service for all types of yacht repairs across the Algarve, from small GRP repairs to full refits.
POLISHING AND WAXING
We at Slick Hull start with washing of the top sides to remove all surface grit with special wax eco safe soap, this removes all possible the service marks and scuffs then the hull is wiped dry. Once dry we then protect your hull against the elements, we apply a high-quality glaze with a high content in Carnauba waxes. After this we gently polish the paintwork or gelcoat with the finest grade of polish, this will give the surface of the hull an enhanced reflection, with a high gloss finish to be proud of.
VARNISHING
We have a dedicated team specialising in the application of paint and varnish to a high standard, we are a centre of excellence for this kind of work to all type’s timber and GRP. We undertake a variety of coating methods, including spraying and hand brushing only using Marine industry-approved paints and varnishes to provide the best possible finish on your yacht.
HULL INSPECTION
Slick Hull have an experienced section to asses the condition of your vessel, it can be reassuring to know the condition of your hull, if this is your requirement contact our office. We will undertake a detailed examination of main areas on the hull using the state-of-the-art Sovereign Quantum moisture meter with all area recorded. This meter will check for moisture content in or near the surface of the laminate. It then measures further into the substrate up to a depth of 300mm. This gives the technician a very clear indication of the condition of the hull.
