Boat Fiberglass Repair in Hilton Head, Bluffton & Beaufort
Custom Marine Finishes provides professional boat fiberglass repair for cracks, chips, dings, structural surface damage, and cosmetic defects.
Pricing is based on the extent of damage, repair method, surface condition, and materials required. We use epoxy-based repair products because they provide strong, stable repairs compared with standard polyester fillers.
Our fiberglass repair work is backed by a 3 to 5-year guarantee on qualifying repairs.
Gelcoat Repair and Color Matching for Boats
We provide gelcoat repair for scratches, chips, cracking, blistering, fading, oxidation, and damaged marine surfaces.
Our team uses factory-mixed gelcoats whenever possible to achieve the best color match and finish. Because gelcoat color can change over time due to sun exposure, oxidation, and age, an exact match cannot always be guaranteed. Some repair areas may become more noticeable over time.
All qualifying gelcoat repairs are backed by a 3 to 5-year guarantee against cracking and blistering.
At Custom Marine Finishes, we have more than 24 years in the industry with 5 years of European apprentice programs for fabrication, structural, glassing, coatings and finish work. You can have confidence when you bring your boat to us. Please don't hesitate to call or contact us with specific questions about boat painting and boat customization work.
