Common Questions

Fiberglass Repair FAQs

Answers to the questions we hear most from Central Florida boat owners. Still unsure? Give us a call and we will talk through your situation.

(352) 408-0929
How much does fiberglass boat repair cost in Central Florida?
The cost depends on the extent of the damage. Minor gelcoat chips and surface repairs can start around $150 to $400. Larger structural repairs such as transom replacement or stringer work typically range from $1,500 to $5,000 or more. We provide a free, detailed estimate before any work begins so you always know exactly what to expect with no hidden costs.
Can you match my boat’s gelcoat color exactly?
Yes. Color matching is one of our specialties. We use professional marine gelcoat systems and custom mixing to match your boat’s existing color as closely as possible. On older boats that have faded over time, we account for weathering so the repaired area blends in naturally rather than standing out as a bright new patch.
What is the difference between gelcoat repair and Awlgrip painting?
Gelcoat is the original finish applied to fiberglass boats during manufacturing. Gelcoat repairs restore the factory surface and are ideal for localized damage. Awlgrip is a premium two-part polyurethane paint system applied over the entire hull or topside for a high-gloss, extremely durable finish. Awlgrip is the better choice when you want a full refinish or when the existing gelcoat is too oxidized and damaged to restore effectively.
How long does fiberglass repair take?
Small gelcoat repairs can often be completed in a single day. More involved structural repairs such as transom replacements or full hull refinishing typically take one to two weeks depending on the scope of work and curing time required. We give you a realistic timeline upfront so you can plan around your boating schedule.
Do you handle boat insurance claims for fiberglass damage?
Yes. We work with boat owners on insurance claims regularly. We provide detailed written estimates, photo documentation of all damage, and any supplemental information your insurer needs to process the claim. Just let us know when you contact us that this is an insurance repair and we will guide you through the process.
Do you offer mobile fiberglass repair in Orlando?
Some fiberglass repairs can be performed on-site at your location depending on the type of damage and the access we need. Gelcoat touch-ups and minor surface work are good candidates for mobile service. Structural repairs typically require the boat to come to our Mount Dora shop. Contact us and describe what you have and we will let you know which option works best for your situation.
