When a coating or paint system does not perform as expected, this can cause downtime, additional costs and safety risks. With our inspection and damage analysis services, we quickly and accurately determine what is going wrong — and, importantly, how it can be resolved. An independent expert assessment by Nebest COT is especially valuable when there is a dispute involving coated products or materials.

Comprehensive On‑Site Inspection

Our specialists carry out a comprehensive assessment of the substrate, coating layers and environmental conditions. Using modern measuring equipment, we evaluate, among other things:

  • Layer thicknesses
  • Adhesion and substrate conditions
  • Moisture and corrosion levels
  • Mechanical and chemical loads

This provides a reliable insight into the current condition of the coating system.

Identifying the Causes of Damage

Damage can occur as a result of incorrect application, unsuitable products, wear, aggressive environments or design flaws. We analyse:

  • Blistering and delamination
  • Corrosion development
  • Cracking and discolouration
  • Flaking or chalking coatings

Following the inspection, you will receive a clear and structured report including:

  • Findings and measurement results
  • Identified damage and root causes
  • Risks associated with further deterioration
  • Practical repair and improvement recommendations

Our objective: a durable solution that prevents future problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a coating inspection?

A coating inspection is a technical evaluation of the condition, quality and performance of a coating system. This includes measuring thickness, adhesion, corrosion and substrate condition.

Why is damage analysis important?

Damage analysis reveals why a coating fails. It helps prevent recurrence, reduces costs and supports choosing the right repair method.

What types of damage are most common?

Typical issues include rust formation, blistering, discolouration, delamination (loss of adhesion), cracks and insufficient coating thickness.

When is a coating inspection needed?

  • When visible damage or corrosion is present
  • Before renovation or maintenance
  • After incorrectly applied coatings
  • In warranty claims or acceptance inspections

How much does a coating inspection cost?

Prices depend on the surface area, location and required measurements. A reliable estimate is provided after a brief intake or project description.
