DiveGym offers a comprehensive refurbishment service for Duraflex Short Stands, extending the life of existing installations while restoring them to safe, functional condition. Our refurbishment process addresses corrosion, structural wear, and outdated components to ensure compliance with current British Standards and World Aquatics platform diving regulations.
Each unit is fully stripped down and assessed. We replace all necessary parts — including new hinges, bolts, anti-rattle clamps, and fulcrum components — and sandblast and resurface the aluminium castings. Stands are then repainted in polyester powder coat (PPC) to match RAL colour specifications.
Refurbishment Includes:
• Disassembly and inspection of the complete unit.• Replacement of all worn or corroded mechanical and load-bearing components.• New aluminium hinges, bolts, and fixings as standard.• Sandblasting of existing castings to bare metal.• Polyester powder coat (PPC) finish in RAL colours.• Final reassembly and alignment of fulcrum and board mount.
