Preparation and color matching

We start by carefully inspecting the boat’s damage to determine whether it’s purely cosmetic or if there’s a more serious structural issue. Maintaining the integrity and appearance of boats is crucial, so we clean the affected area to remove any dirt and wax. By polishing the area around the damage, we restore the boat’s original color, allowing us to mix the gelcoat perfectly to match the boat’s specific color.

Filling and smoothing the damaged area

For boats, a seamless repair is essential. The filling mixture is applied to the damaged area on the boat using a spatula, ensuring it stands slightly proud to match the surrounding surface. Once cured, we carefully sand the area until it’s smooth and level, blending it flawlessly with the rest of the boat, so the repair is virtually invisible.

Applying the finish and final touches

To complete the process, we apply a final layer of unthickened gelcoat over the repair, perfect for boats, adding a small amount of wax-in-styrene to improve flow and ease curing. Once dry, we sand and polish the surface to achieve a smooth and glossy finish. Finally, we apply a UV-protective wax to safeguard the fixed area. With these steps, the repair is fully integrated, leaving the boat looking as good as new and ready to hit the water again, ensuring the boat’s top condition for years to come.

Gelcoat is a protective outer layer applied to the hull of boats to provide a smooth, glossy finish. It not only enhances the boat’s appearance but also protects the fiberglass structure underneath from water, UV rays, and minor scratches or abrasions.
We take great care in color matching by first cleaning and polishing the affected area to reveal the original color. This allows us to mix the new gelcoat to perfectly match your boat’s specific color, ensuring a seamless repair that blends flawlessly with the rest of the surface.
The process starts with an inspection to determine the extent of the damage. We then clean the area, fill the damage with a special mixture, and sand it until smooth. Finally, we apply a fresh layer of gelcoat, sand, and polish it to a glossy finish, ensuring the repair is virtually invisible and your boat looks as good as new.
Repairing fiberglass boats involves assessing the extent of the damage, whether it’s a crack, hole, or delamination. We begin by sanding the damaged area and cleaning it thoroughly. Next, we apply layers of fiberglass mat and resin to restore the boat’s structural integrity. Once cured, the area is sanded smooth, followed by the application of gelcoat to match the original finish.
