Reconditioning programmes for gelcoat and woodwork
Vindö Marin’s reconditioning programmes for gelcoat and woodwork help restore your boat’s appearance and condition to an almost new standard. A well-maintained boat is more enjoyable to own, provides a renewed new-boat feel and may also contribute to a higher resale value.
Every programme is customised according to the boat’s current condition and your ambitions for improvements over time. Through inspection, analysis and a clear maintenance plan, we help you prioritise the right measures and create the best long-term conditions for your boat.
01
Inspection and condition assessment
The process begins with an inspection and assessment of the boat’s gelcoat, woodwork, underwater hull and other surfaces. We evaluate their current condition and identify wear, damage and areas that may require treatment or improvement. Our findings are presented as a clear improvement proposal containing recommended measures. You also receive practical advice and ideas to help you decide which work should be prioritised.
02
A customised reconditioning programme
Every boat has different requirements. We therefore adapt the reconditioning programme to its materials, condition and use, as well as to your preferences and long-term ambitions. The programme may include both immediate work and a plan for recurring maintenance. This allows measures to be scheduled and prioritised over time while helping preserve the boat’s condition and value.
03
Polishing
Professional polishing restores gloss and lustre to the boat’s surfaces. The treatment helps remove oxidation, minor marks and dullness caused by regular use and exposure to the elements. The method and treatment are adapted to the material and condition of each surface, creating an even, well-maintained appearance and a renewed new-boat feel.
04
Waxing and surface protection
Following polishing, the surface can be treated with wax to preserve its shine and create a protective layer. Waxing helps make the surface more resistant to dirt, sunlight, salt water and other stresses associated with the marine environment. Regular surface protection also simplifies ongoing maintenance and helps the boat retain its well-cared-for appearance for longer.
05
Underwater hull treatment
Vindö Marin carries out underwater hull treatments based on the boat’s existing condition and requirements. The work may include cleaning, preparing the surface, repairing minor damage and applying new protective coatings. Thorough preparation creates the right foundation for a smooth, durable and long-lasting result below the waterline.
06
Reconditioning during winter storage
If your boat is stored with Vindö Marin during the winter, its reconditioning work can be planned and completed during the storage period. This allows the necessary treatments and improvements to be carried out while the boat is already ashore. Together, we plan the work well in advance so that your boat is well maintained, protected and ready for the next season.
