Cosmetic and structural repair
Small chips, spider cracks and gelcoat damage get ground, filled, faired and color-matched. Structural damage — holes, delamination, impact damage — gets properly tapered, laminated in layers, and re-glassed to the surrounding structure.
Color matching and finish
Gelcoat is matched to your existing hull so the repair blends. When a panel is too far gone to blend, painting the section or the whole hull is often the better-looking and longer-lasting call.
Insurance and survey work
If you need photos and documentation for a claim or a pre-purchase survey punch list, that comes with the job at no extra charge.
When to call the shop
- Cracks radiating from a corner, hatch or fitting
- Impact damage from a dock, trailer or grounding
- Delamination or a hollow sound when tapped
- Gouges through gelcoat into the laminate
