Fibreglass Boat Repair: From Cracks to Structural Work

Fibreglass boats are durable, but impacts, ageing and moisture eventually cause cracks, holes and delamination. With the right resin and lamination technique, most of this damage is repaired permanently.

Surface or structural?

Superficial gelcoat cracks are cosmetic and solved quickly. But cracks reaching the laminate, delamination and underwater damage need structural repair and shouldn't be neglected.

Resin and technique

The life of a repair depends on the right resin choice and lamination quality. Where needed, the area is strengthened with carbon reinforcement.

Osmosis is a separate matter

If you see blisters below the waterline, it's often osmosis and needs a different process (see blister vs osmosis).
