Fiberglass Repair & Boat Restorations in Bradenton, FL

Fiberglass Boat Repair
Dock rash, impact damage, stress cracks, blisters and soft spots get worse if they're left alone, because water gets in and weakens the boat. We grind out the damaged area, rebuild it with new fiberglass, and fair it smooth so the repair is strong and hard to spot. We handle everything from small dings and screw holes to bigger structural jobs, including rotten transoms and stringer repairs that bring back the strength of the hull.

Boat Painting
When a touch-up isn't enough, we paint. That can mean refinishing one damaged area, painting a deck, a full repaint or a complete color change. We also do bottom painting to keep growth off your hull. Good paint starts with good prep: we fix the fiberglass and gelcoat underneath first, so the new finish lasts in the Florida sun. Not sure whether your boat needs gelcoat work or paint? We'll look at it and give you an honest answer.
