Frequently Asked Questions
How much does dock rash repair cost?
It depends on how large and how deep the damage is and how involved the color match will be. Send us a few photos or have us take a look, and we’ll give you a free, no-obligation quote.
Can you match my boat’s exact gelcoat color?
Yes. We tint the gelcoat to your hull, including finishes that have faded or oxidized over time, then blend the edges so the repair disappears into the surrounding color and gloss.
How long does a dock rash repair take?
Light scuffs can often be taken care of in a single visit. Repairs that need filling and color-matched gelcoat take longer because each layer has to cure. We’ll give you a timeline with your quote.
Will the repair be visible?
Our goal is a repair you can’t find. We feather the edges, match the color and gloss, then wet sand and polish so the area blends with the rest of the hull.
Can you repair deep gouges from dock rash?
Yes. If a scrape has cut through the gelcoat, we grind it back, fill it with marine-grade materials, then color match and polish it. See our deep gouge repair page for more.
