Boats
Preparation, finish, budget & turnaround
Remove antifouling buildup, blistered gelcoat or failed hull coating, assess corrosion, then rebuild the coating system for immersion service.
Recycled glass or garnet, often wet/dustless to control media around the water
SSPC-SP 10 near-white metal on steel hulls; controlled gelcoat profile on fiberglass
Epoxy barrier coat plus antifouling bottom paint, or marine urethane above the waterline
Estimated $3,500 – $12,000 for recreational hulls; $25,000 – $150,000+ for commercial vessels and barges
1 – 3 weeks, tied to haul-out and cure windows
What changes the price
- Haul-out, blocking and yard fees are separate from blasting
- Containment is required to keep media out of the water
- Aluminum hulls need non-ferrous media to avoid contamination
- Bottom paint must go on inside the coating's recoat window
Budget ranges are typical market benchmarks, not a quote. Photos and dimensions get you a real number fastest.

Pricing depends on surface area, material, coating condition, access, containment, finish requirements, and travel. Photos and dimensions help contractors quote accurately.
Can blasting and coating be included in one scope?

Are contractor credentials the same for every project?
No. Licensing, insurance, certifications, equipment, and qualifications vary by contractor and project. Verify all requirements before awarding work.
