Fibreglass repair


Gruffy

Recommended Posts

Whilst swinging on her mooring last summer, my boat suffered some damge from the engine of the boat next door...the result was a chunk of fibreglass was ripped out of the bathing platform as can be seen. I'm hoping I can repair it before launching in a week or two, but I'm not too sure how to go about it the right way. Can anyone recommend somebody who might be willing to carry this repair out, or alternatively offer any advice as to how to do a proper job?

 

Many thanks if you can help.

Where is the boat? Local to Bournemouth/Poole? If so it will be far easier to explain what will be a fairly simple repair in spoken words rather than a load of writing. If it is local I would be happy to show you how to do a repair.

Blimey, that was a quick response....I only asked for help 5 minutes ago! Thanks Mike biggrin.gif

 

The boat is in Ferndown....I'd be very happy to cover all costs to get this fixed properly Mike, so I will very gladly take you up on your kind offer if Ferndown isn't too far out for you?

If you need the number of a guy that can make an invisible repair just shout. The chap I use is totally first class

These experts really do do a fantastic repair job, totally invisible.

It might be a good idea to get a quote from Martins guy for comparison purposes. There may not be a lot in it cost wise, but then again the cost may be so high that it convinces you to go the DIY route. Knowledge is all, as they say.
