Scratches & Gouges
Dock rash, prop strikes, and scratches deep enough to go through the gelcoat. Ground back to sound material, filled, faired, and sanded flat before any colour goes on.
Scratches, gouges, cracks, and blisters. Repaired, faired, and colour matched so the fix is not the first thing you see.
What We Do
Dock rash, prop strikes, and scratches deep enough to go through the gelcoat. Ground back to sound material, filled, faired, and sanded flat before any colour goes on.
Stress cracks, spider cracking around hardware, and damage from impact. The crack gets opened up and repaired from the inside out. Filling over a crack without opening it means it comes back.
Blistering, keel and skeg damage, and grounding damage. The boat comes out of the water and the laminate gets dried before anything is applied to it.
Matched to the hull as it is now, not to the factory colour, then wet sanded, compounded, and polished so the repair blends into the surrounding finish.
Before & After
Before
After
Deep gouges through the gelcoat on a topside panel, repaired and colour matched.
Before
After
Damage around a hull fitting, rebuilt and faired back into the surrounding surface.
What to Expect
A good repair is invisible from a few feet away in normal light. Up close, under direct sun, on a dark or faded hull, you may still find it. Anyone who promises you will never see it again has not done many of them. What we will tell you before we start is which of those two your boat is, and what it would take to get closer.

Common Questions
Usually. White and off-white match well. Dark colours, metallics, and heavily faded hulls are harder, because we are matching the hull as it looks today rather than what it left the factory as. We will tell you what to expect before we start.
For anything below the waterline, yes, and the laminate needs time to dry before repair. Topside and above-waterline work can often happen where the boat sits.
It depends on depth and cure times more than on size. A single gouge can be a day. Blister work runs longer because of drying time. We give you a real timeline when we quote.
See the finish section above. From normal viewing distance, yes. Under direct sun at close range on a dark hull, sometimes not.
Yes. We can supply photos of the damage and a written estimate for your insurer.
