Start with the repair you need to make

Gelcoat scratches, chips and surface damage

For a sound fibreglass part with cosmetic damage, first identify the existing finish and check whether the laminate beneath it is intact. Learn how to distinguish a surface repair from deeper damage in our cosmetic gelcoat repair guide, then explore polyester resin and gelcoat supplies.

Fibreglass laminate repair and fabrication

Reinforcement, resin, fillers and the final coating need to work as a system. Read our fibreglass resin and gelcoat selection guide, compare fibreglass and composite fabrics, and browse resins, gelcoat, pigments and tools.

Boat maintenance and larger projects

Marine repairs may involve water exposure, structural loads and an existing coating system. Browse marine repair supplies, and use our marine gelcoat application guide to plan product selection and preparation. Consult a qualified marine repair professional for structural damage, wet core or widespread blistering.

Ask the Kelowna team

Tell us what the part is made from, where the damage is, whether it is above or below the waterline, and what finish you want. If you can, bring clear photos and measurements. Call 250-763-9426 or visit the Windsor Road store to discuss materials and confirm local stock before travelling.

Common questions

Should I use epoxy or polyester resin?

It depends on the existing laminate, required adhesion, service conditions and the planned finishing system. Do not assume gelcoat or chopped strand mat is compatible with every epoxy or polyester system. Start with the selection guide and the exact product technical data sheets.

Can I colour-match an older gelcoat?

Age and sun exposure can change the original colour. Compare a fully cured test sample with a clean adjacent area before committing to a repair batch. See our gelcoat guide for the process.
