Let’s face it, everyone has accidents that can damage the beauty of their boat, but the good news is that the damage can easily be repaired by someone who is trained in the process.

The first fiberglass boat was built in 1942, and since then the boat industry, especially in Fort Lauderdale, has insisted on quality fiberglass technicians who are pros at boat fiberglass repair. We specialize in making boats shine again, and are experts of all aspects of yacht fiberglass repair, such as gelcoat repair, delamination repair, keel damage repair and even total boat modifications, such as hull extensions.
The Boat Fiberglass Repair Process
The first step in a proper boat fiberglass repair job is to prepare the area that is damaged. This requires cleaning out all of the loose parts, then sanding around the area. This takes an expert because it would be easy to affect the non-damaged parts, which would just create more problems. Next, the technician will apply the gelcoat, and ensure that it is properly color-matched, applied and set. After that, he will have to sand the area and create a smooth, even area for the next step.
The fiberglass will then be applied in layers, each one bonding to the prior one if the job is done right. A true fiberglass technician, such as the ones we have at our Fort Lauderdale boat yard, will understand how the chemicals work together or form a powerful bond. If they aren’t applied correctly, the bond will be weak, and will crumble again in the near future.
