Our Dock & Trailer Damage Repair Services

Professional Repairs for Real-World Damage.

Dock and trailer damage is one of the most common types of fiberglass repair. We restore scrapes, gouges, cracks, and impact marks caused by docks, pilings, trailer bunks, and loading — using professional marine-grade materials and expert color matching.

Gelcoat peeled away from a hull just above its trailer

Loading & Unloading Damage

Fix impact marks and gelcoat damage from winches, bunks, and loading on and off the trailer or lift.

Loading damage tends to show up on the bow, keel and lower hull, where the boat meets a trailer roller, winch post or lift arm, often after a crosswind or a crooked approach. We remove loose gelcoat, check the laminate beneath for cracks, rebuild the area, then color-match, sand and polish it smooth.

Corner & Edge Repairs

Restore chipped or cracked gelcoat on rub rails, chines, keel edges, and high-contact areas.

Edges and corners take the first hit from docks, pilings and trailers, and gelcoat on a sharp edge chips easily. Left open, those chips let water into the fiberglass underneath. We clean out the damage, build the edge back to its original profile, then color-match, sand and polish it so the line of the hull stays crisp.

Multiple Scratches & Scuffs

Blend and repair multiple marks to restore a smooth, uniform finish with exact color matching.

A season of docking and trailering can leave a hull side covered in scratches, scuffs and small gouges that make the whole boat look tired. Rather than spot-fixing each one, we fill the deeper marks, sand the area so it reads as one surface, then color-match, compound and polish for an even gloss.
