Not Bottom Paint

Topside Repair, Not Antifouling Paint

Fiberglass refinishing is different from bottom painting. Bottom painting applies antifouling paint below the waterline to keep growth off the hull, while fiberglass refinishing repairs and restores the gelcoat and hull surface itself, wherever the damage or wear shows up.

Our Process

How We Refinish A Hull

01

Assess The Damage

We inspect scratches, gouges, stress cracks, or faded gelcoat to determine the right repair approach for your hull.

02

Repair & Fill

Damaged fiberglass is repaired and gouges or cracks are filled so the surface is structurally sound before any cosmetic work begins.

03

Gelcoat Color Match

We match the gelcoat color so the repair blends into the surrounding hull instead of standing out as a patch.

04

Buff & Polish

The finished surface is buffed and polished back to a bright, protected shine, finishing the repair with a look that matches the rest of the boat.
