Don't Replace Cracked Pontoons, Restore Them

Cracks compromise the safety and integrity of your marina's walkways. Our system provides a two-step solution: first, repair the damage with our flexible Slab Repair compound, then protect the entire surface with the P5-rated anti-slip Step Safe coating.

Why choose shieldcoat

An Intelligent System for Asset Preservation

For marina managers and professional contractors, this system represents a strategic approach to asset management. It's not just a cosmetic fix; it's a long-term solution that extends the life of valuable infrastructure, prevents further degradation, and avoids immense capital expenditure.

Flexible Repair for a Dynamic Environment

Our Slab Repair compound is specifically designed to fill cracks with a flexible acrylic formula. This is crucial in a marine setting, as it allows for the slight, natural movements of pontoons and jetties without the repair failing or re-cracking.

Certified P5 Safety for Wet Surfaces

Once repaired, the surface is coated with our roll-on Step Safe system. This provides a P5 anti-slip rating – the highest safety standard – ensuring all walkways are secure for members and the public in a constantly wet environment.

Complete Protection from Marine Elements

The Step Safe topcoat creates a seamless, durable barrier that seals the repaired concrete. This protects the entire surface from the corrosive effects of saltwater, constant moisture, and harsh UV rays, preventing future damage.

What you need to know to get started

The 'Repair, Don't Replace' Advantage

This system is a smart, cost-effective alternative to demolition and replacement. By repairing existing cracks and applying a protective coating, you can save marina operators thousands in capital expenditure.

Seamless and Flexible Crack Repair

Slab Repair is an acrylic compound designed to fill cracks while remaining flexible enough to withstand slight substrate movement, ensuring a durable and long-lasting fix in a dynamic marine environment.

Certified P5 Anti-Slip Protection

Repairing the surface doesn't mean compromising on safety. The roll-on Step Safe coating provides the highest P5 slip rating, making walkways and pontoons safe for members and the public, even when constantly wet.

Shields Concrete from Marine Elements

The Step Safe topcoat seals the repaired concrete, creating a durable barrier that protects it from relentless saltwater spray, rain, and UV damage, preventing future degradation.

Preserve and Extend Asset Life

This system is a powerful tool for asset management. It extends the functional lifespan of existing concrete infrastructure, delaying the need for costly replacement and maximising the value of the asset.

A Less Disruptive Solution

Repairing in-situ with a trowel and roller is significantly less disruptive to marina operations than bringing in heavy machinery for demolition and concrete pouring, ensuring minimal downtime.

FAQ
