What we can repair

Fiberglass and gelcoat require serious preparation before finishing. A durable repair starts with reading the damage, cleaning, sanding, rebuilding the affected area, then applying and finishing the surface based on the material involved.

  • Cracks, chips and impacts on fiberglass surfaces
  • Repair of panels, corners, mouldings or damaged areas depending on access
  • Visible damage correction on RVs, travel trailers, motorhomes and boats
  • Surface preparation, sanding, filling and finishing of the affected area
  • Gelcoat repair or touch-up depending on colour and surface condition
  • Cosmetic restoration before the season, a sale or extended use

When to ask for this service

  • An RV, travel trailer or boat panel is cracked or chipped
  • The gelcoat has chips, deep scratches or visible damage
  • An area was affected by an impact or rubbing
  • You want to improve presentation before a sale or season of use
  • You want to know whether the repair can stay local or needs a wider restoration

How we work

We start by understanding the substrate, the extent of the damage and the finish you expect. The method then depends on crack depth, access to the area and the finish required.

  1. Damage review using photos or inspection of the affected area
  2. Validation of surface type, depth and access
  3. Surface preparation: cleaning, sanding and protection of adjacent areas
  4. Fiberglass repair or gelcoat correction depending on the case
  5. Finishing, visual verification and maintenance recommendations
