Yacht Maintenance
Regular care helps you keep track of your yacht’s condition and plan work before small defects become more involved. BrainWaves GRP offers agreed yacht maintenance and checks, focused on GRP surfaces, gelcoat, hull coatings and presentation. We provide a mobile service from Warsash across Southampton and the Solent.
Maintenance can be arranged as a one-off visit or discussed as an ongoing programme. We agree what will be checked or maintained, how often visits are needed and which work requires separate approval.
Visual checks of accessible GRP and gelcoat
Cleaning valeting and polishing
Planning local repairs to chips and surface damage
Hull coating work coordinated with time ashore
01
The aim is to give you a clearer picture of the agreed areas of your boat. If a check identifies damage requiring further investigation, we discuss it with you and outline the next steps. Hidden structures and specialist systems may need a separate inspection by the relevant professional.
02
We can help plan polishing, antifouling and local repair work around launch dates and periods ashore. Where the job involves several contractors or a larger refit, Yacht Management provides a separate service for coordinating the project.
Yes, subject to availability and an agreed scope. Contact us to discuss the areas you want maintained and a suitable visiting schedule.
Checks focus on agreed accessible areas, such as GRP and gelcoat surfaces. The exact scope is set in advance so you know what is included and what needs separate specialist attention.
We can discuss agreed care visits and updates. Access, frequency and the actions you want carried out need to be arranged before the service begins.
No. An agreed maintenance visit is not a comprehensive condition or insurance survey. A qualified marine surveyor should be engaged where that type of assessment is required.
We can discuss hull coatings, polishing and local GRP or gelcoat repairs around your launch programme. Timing depends on access, curing conditions and the work required.
Pricing depends on the boat’s size, condition, visit frequency and agreed tasks. We discuss those details before providing a quotation or proposed maintenance scope.
Contact us with your boat’s location, size and the care you would like arranged. We can discuss a maintenance scope that suits how you use it.
