Services
What we do
One team, one van, four services. Prices below are starting points — every job gets a quote. Prices exclude VAT.
Hull blasting & antifouling removal
Old antifouling and primer removed from fibreglass hulls with low-pressure wet blasting (around 70 psi for GRP). Less dust, less heat, gentle on the gelcoat.
- Clean surface, ready for new antifouling or osmosis treatment
- Primer and new antifouling: from €7.50 per foot, materials extra
- Estimated blasting time: 4–5 hours. It depends on the hull size, its condition and the number of coating layers, and is confirmed after assessment
From €17 per foot
Overall length in feet (1 m ≈ 3.3 ft)
Graffiti removal & facade cleaning
Graffiti and dirt removed from stone, brick, concrete and plaster. Low pressure and the right abrasive clean the surface without destroying it.
- Facades, walls, fences and entrances
- Monuments and sculptural groups
- Test patch before the main job
- Businesses, municipalities, residential buildings
From €12.50 per m²
Large areas — price on request
Mobile marine technician
Service and repair at your berth — no need to take the boat anywhere.
- Seasonal commissioning and winterising
- Scheduled servicing and diagnostics of engine and systems
- Hull, spars, rigging, deck hardware
- Electrics, pumps, plumbing, navigation and audio
- Pre-purchase inspection of the boat
- Anything else — on request
€30 per hour
Planned maintenance — price on request
Lithium batteries and solar panels
We convert yacht and motorboat house batteries from AGM to LiFePO4. It costs about as much as new AGM batteries, but you get more usable energy, less weight and a much longer service life.
- LiFePO4 instead of AGM, 12, 24 and 48 V systems
- Solar panels, wind generators, alternator and shore charging
- Inverters, on-board and remote monitoring and control
- Old batteries taken for recycling
Price on request
Estimate after a discussion and, if needed, an inspection of the boat
Why wet blasting
Why not just wash or sand the hull?
The two usual ways to prepare a hull — and what they leave behind.
Washing off the growth
- Removes barnacles and weed, not the old paint
- Coats pile up; barnacle remains get painted over
- A full strip is still needed later — and it gets harder
- The gelcoat stays hidden: no check for osmosis or damage
Hand sanding
- Slow, heavy work
- Toxic antifouling dust in the air and on the ground
- Uneven result in tight spots: keel joint, rudder, around fittings
Our wet blasting
- Down to the gelcoat in about 4–5 hours (confirmed after assessment)
- The whole hull is visible: osmosis blisters and damage show straight away
- Even matt surface, ready for primer
- Little dust; residue collected on tarps

On site
We arrive with our own van, blasting unit and compressor and lay tarps under the hull.
Clean-up
Blasting residue is collected from the tarps. Nothing goes into the sea.
Responsible with what comes off the hull
Old antifouling contains biocides and must not end up in the sea or in the ground. We lay tarps under the hull, collect the blasting residue and leave the work area clean.

FAQ
Questions we hear most
Is wet blasting safe for gelcoat?
At low pressure and with the right abrasive — yes, that’s the point of the method. We test on a small area first.
Do I need to haul out the boat?
Yes. The hull must be out of the water, on a cradle or stands, at a marina or boatyard that allows the work.
How long does one hull take?
Blasting takes about 4–5 hours. The time depends on the hull size, its condition and the number of coating layers, and is confirmed after assessment. Primer and antifouling take about one more day, weather permitting.
Do you apply new antifouling?
Yes. After blasting we can apply primer and new antifouling — tell us your preferred paint or we’ll suggest one.
Do you issue invoices with VAT?
Yes. We are a registered Bulgarian company, VAT number BG205702852.
