Fiberglass & Gel Coat Repair in Archer City, TX: Expert Boat Body Service

Expert Fiberglass Lamination & Gelcoat Color Matching

Our comprehensive restoration services address both aesthetic flaws and critical structural compromises, using only premium marine-grade resins and materials that stand up to the Archer City, TX elements.

• Cosmetic Gelcoat Scratch & Chip Repair: We meticulously repair surface damage, including stress cracks, gouges, and deep scratches. Our technicians utilize advanced color-matching techniques to blend the repair flawlessly with your original finish, making chips and minor impacts virtually invisible.
• Major Structural Fiberglass Repair: For damage resulting from collisions, hard impacts, or trailer accidents, we perform complete fiberglass lamination. This process involves stripping damaged material, rebuilding the structure with proper marine resins and cloth, and ensuring the repaired area meets or exceeds the original hull strength.
• Fading & Oxidation Restoration: The intense Archer City, TX UV rays cause gelcoat to oxidize and fade over time. We offer multi-stage compounding, polishing, and sealing treatments to remove the oxidized layer, bringing back the deep color, brilliant gloss, and protective properties of your boat's finish.
• Keel Guard & Bottom Hull Protection Installation: Protect your most vulnerable area from shallow water or beaching damage. We professionally install durable keel guards and address bottom-hull scuffs and chips, ensuring a smooth, protected surface for better performance.
• Deck and Non-Skid Repair: Damage to the deck requires specialized techniques to maintain the critical non-skid surface patterns. We expertly repair cracks and impacts on walking surfaces while carefully recreating the factory non-skid texture for safety and aesthetic continuity.
• Osmotic Blister Repair: For older boats or those left in the water for extended periods, we diagnose and repair hull blistering (osmosis). This involves peeling, drying, sealing, and applying protective barrier coats to eliminate future water intrusion and structural degradation.
