Fibreglass Boat Repairs
Structural and Gelcoat Restoration
Our workshop features a dedicated spray booth built specifically to handle marine gelcoat and fibreglass refinishing. We are an approved insurance repairer. Leading insurance companies prefer and recommend our team because we provide consistent quality, clear communication, and professional customer service.
Matching Your Damage to the Right Service Option
In-Workshop Repairs (For Major and Structural Work)
If your boat has structural damage, requires a transom rebuild, needs extensive hull work, or needs a large area resprayed, it must come to our main facility. These major jobs require the controlled environment of our spray booth and the lifting power of our overhead gantry to be completed safely and legally. We can accommodate any size trailer boat at the workshop.
Mobile Marine Repairs (Strictly for Minor Cosmetic Touch-Ups)
If your boat only has minor cosmetic issues, our mobile service can come directly to your home, workplace, or local marina to save you time. Our custom-built mobile units are staffed by experienced technicians who are equipped to perform small paint touch-ups, minor scratch fixes, and light, localised gelcoat repairs onsite.

Understanding Boat Gelcoat Repairs
The Truth About Gelcoat Blending
When repairing a small section of gelcoat, a technician will often blend the new material into the old material. It is important to know that these blended areas will naturally break down over time because the old and new areas age at different rates. While the repair looks perfect immediately after it is done, weather exposure and sun can eventually make the transition line visible.
How long a blend lasts depends on:
- The overall condition of your original gelcoat
- Where the repair is located on the boat
- The colour of the vessel
- Total exposure to harsh UV sunlight
Because of these natural variations, extensive UV damage or tricky colours often require a full panel respray in our spray booth instead of a simple blend to ensure the repair lasts for years to come.
Why Choose Our Brisbane Workshop Facility?
Fixing structural fibreglass damage or executing large-scale resprays requires specialised industrial equipment. Our workshop is fully set up with the right infrastructure to handle these heavy marine repairs safely and correctly.
Industrial Overhead Gantry
We use a heavy-duty overhead gantry system to safely lift trailer boats completely off their trailers. This allows our team to inspect and repair the hull, keel, and underside areas properly under the right mechanical conditions.
Large Marine Spray Booth
Our custom spray booth easily fits trailer boats of any size. This controlled environment keeps dust out so that new gelcoat and paint cure with a smooth, factory-grade finish.
Experienced Trade Team
Our workshop combines the skills of qualified fibreglass repairers, panel beaters, and spray painters. We use modern products and materials to ensure your boat is structurally sound and looks great.
Full Stage Quality Control
We do thorough quality checks at every single step of the repair process. We also send you regular updates so you always know how your boat is progressing.
