Built for Brisbane Conditions – Repairs That Last
Reliable Fibreglass Work for Marine, Industrial & Custom Projects
Up here in Brisbane, fibreglass cops a flogging, sun, salt, humidity, and hard use on the water or road. If it’s not repaired properly, it won’t last. We keep it simple: do it right, or don’t do it at all.

Fibreglass Gelcoat Repair Done Right
Restoring Protection, Finish & Durability
A proper fibreglass gel coat repair isn’t just about looks, it’s what keeps your hull or surface sealed against water, UV, and wear.
Once the gel coat is compromised, damage spreads fast. Our approach to repairing gel coat focuses on restoring that barrier properly while blending the finish so it matches cleanly.
What We Sort Out:
- Dock rash and hull scuffs
- Chips, cracks, and impact damage
- Faded or oxidised gel surfaces
- Deep scratches from trailers or debris
- Colour matching for aged finishes
No shortcuts, just repairs that hold up in real conditions.
Fibreglass Mould Manufacturing & Fabrication
Custom Builds That Actually Fit the Job
When off-the-shelf parts won’t do the job, custom fibreglass is the way to go. We build moulds and components to suit your setup, whether it’s for boats, vehicles, or commercial gear. Everything’s made tough, accurate, and ready to handle real Aussie conditions without letting you down.
What We Can Build:
- Custom boat parts and panels
- Replacement fibreglass sections
- Automotive body components
- Industrial and commercial items
- One-off builds or repeat runs
We get the shape, strength, and finish sorted from the start, no guesswork, just solid gear that works.
Fiberglass Shower Base Repair
Solid, Sealed & Ready for Daily Use
A damaged shower base isn’t just annoying, it can lead to leaks, water damage, and bigger repair costs if ignored. Our fiberglass shower base repair service is a straightforward way to sort it properly without ripping everything out.
Common Problems We Fix:
- Cracks and splits in the base
- Soft spots underfoot
- Leaks and water damage
- Worn or damaged surfaces
We rebuild the affected area, reinforce the base, and reseal it so it’s solid and watertight again. Done right, it’ll hold up for years without issues.
Hydro Baths & Specialty Units
Watertight, Tough & Built for Daily Use
Hydro baths and specialty fibreglass units need to be sealed properly and strong enough to handle regular use without cracking or leaking. When they fail, it’s usually due to poor construction or wear that’s been left too long.
What We Handle:
- Cracks and structural splits
- Leaks and weak points
- Reinforcement of high-stress areas
- Surface restoration and resealing
We make sure everything is watertight, reinforced where it needs it, and finished so it’s easy to clean and maintain. No band-aid fixes, we sort the cause, not just the symptom.

FAQ's
1. Can a fiberglass gel coat be repaired?
Yes, a proper fibreglass gel coat repair can restore both the look and protection of your surface. Done right, it seals the area and prevents further damage from water and UV.
2. Can you put a new gelcoat over the old gelcoat?
You can, but only with proper prep. The surface needs to be cleaned, sanded, and keyed correctly to ensure the new layer bonds and doesn’t peel or fail.
3. What is the difference between gelcoat and gelcoat filler?
Gelcoat is the outer protective finish, while filler is used underneath to rebuild damaged areas. Both are used together during repairing gel coat for a strong, smooth result.
4. Is gelcoat just resin?
Not quite. Gelcoat is a specialised resin with added properties for UV resistance and durability, designed to act as the outer protective layer on fibreglass surfaces.
5. How long do fibreglass repairs last?
If done properly with the right materials, repairs can last for years. It comes down to prep, application, and making sure the damage is fully addressed.
6. What causes gelcoat to crack or fade?
Constant exposure to sun, salt, and impact wear can cause gelcoat to fade, chalk, or crack. Brisbane conditions can speed this up if maintenance is ignored.
7. Can damaged boat surfaces be restored?
Yes, professional boat gelcoat repair can bring back both the finish and protection of your hull, helping it handle ongoing marine conditions.
8. Is it better to repair or replace fibreglass?
