Why Proper Gel Coat Repair is Important for Your Boat
Gelcoat—a resin-based, thermoset polymer made from epoxy or polyester—is sprayed onto the hull and upper exterior of a boat during the fiberglass fabrication process, giving a boat a high gloss look. The gel coat application produces a polished appearance that helps the hull glide through the water and a silky, smooth look that is attractive, easy to clean and helps protect the structural integrity of the fiberglass fabrication. With proper care and maintenance, a gel coating can last 15 years or longer.
Exposure to the elements—salt, sea and air—can reduce the glossy finish. Plus damage from contact with unintended objects can lead to damaged gel coating areas that need to be repaired. Our experienced gel coat repair specialists are experienced at cleaning, buffing, degreasing, sealing and restoring the shine of gel coats. Plus, we can detail and wax your boat so that it looks its very best.

Repairing the Gel Coat on Your Boat
For exterior damage, repairs typically require a thorough diagnosis, removal of the damaged area and the laying up of layers of fiberglass fabric saturated with resin to form strong repair sections. Our skilled technicians will prepare the repaired area, sanding and polishing it. Next, the area receives a new layer of gel coat, color matched and buffed out to blend in with the rest of the exterior.
