Beyond surfboards
★★★★★
Our repair for Joe was a bit different - our caravan shower base had cracked. Joe did a top quality repair, painstakingly colour matching to the rest of the shower. Highly recommend Joe for any type of fibreglass repairs. He is a pleasure to deal with also
★★★★★
Have had multiple great experiences with Joe. Fixed my surfboard twice and then even helped fix the fibreglass pool at my business. Highly recommend his services, great guy and did a stellar job every time.

Still unsure? Call or text Joe on 0422 435 689. More answers in the FAQ.
What fibreglass can you repair?
If it is fibreglass, gelcoat or carbon, send Joe a photo. Boats and hulls, Jet Skis, surfcraft, caravan fittings and pools are all work customers have trusted us with. For anything else, ask and Joe will tell you straight whether it suits the factory.
Do you repair caravans?
Caravan fibreglass, yes: one of our Google reviews is for a cracked caravan shower base, repaired and colour matched. Send photos of your job and Joe will quote it.
Can you repair a fibreglass pool or spa?
We have repaired a fibreglass pool for a local business. Every pool and spa is different, so send photos and Joe will tell you what is possible.
Do you repair carbon fibre?
Yes. Joe works in carbon every day. Carbon and composite parts can be repaired or reinforced. See carbon fibre repairs.
Can you make a custom fibreglass part?
Joe lays up his own fibreglass panels in the factory for fins. For a one-off part, send a photo or drawing and he will tell you whether it is something we can make.
How much does a fibreglass repair cost?
It depends on the size, depth and location of the damage, so every job is quoted from photos. The quote is free and there is no obligation.
Do you do insurance repairs?
Yes, insurance repair work is welcome. Send photos and Joe will quote what the job actually needs.
Where is the work done?
In our factory at 2/14 Nuban St, Currumbin Waters, on the southern Gold Coast. For larger items, send photos first and ask about getting the job to the factory.
Can a hole in fibreglass be repaired?
Yes. Damaged material comes out before new glass goes in, then the area is laminated, faired, colour matched and polished. On a customer's trailer sailer, a hole in the hull was repaired with three layers of fibreglass. Send close-ups and one wider shot for a free quote.
