Gelcoat Restoration

What this service addresses

Gelcoat is a thin outer layer, and Central Texas sun works on it constantly. Once it goes flat and chalky, washing alone will not bring the color back. Restoration works the surface itself rather than covering it up.

What the work involves

• Wash and decontaminate the surface before any machine work
• Test spot to judge how much correction the gelcoat needs and can take
• Staged compounding to level oxidation and light surface defects
• Refining polish steps to build gloss and depth back into the color
• A protective step so the freshly opened surface is not left bare

How this gets quoted

We cannot price gelcoat restoration from a description alone, because the amount of work scales with the size of the boat and how far the surface has gone. Send the boat type, approximate length and a short description of the condition, add photos if you have them, and we will quote the work for your boat specifically.

1. Send your boat details. Tell us the boat type, approximate length, current condition, where it is kept and which services you are considering. Photos are welcome.
2. Get a quote for your boat. We review what you send, ask anything we still need, and quote the work for that specific boat. Pricing is per boat, not per package.
3. We come to the boat. We schedule a time and perform the work at your dock, slip or storage location. No trailering required.

Boats we perform this on

• Pontoon boats
• Wakeboard and wake boats
• Center console boats
• Yachts

What we need on site

Access to the boat and to the slip or dock, and a note about whether water and power are available where the boat is kept. Tell us in the quote request if they are not, and we will plan the visit around it.
