What affects the price

Why a quote
can move

The guide prices cover the common jobs. Your exact price comes down to a few things Joe can see in a photo.

  1. 01

    Size of the damage

    How many dings there are, how big and deep they are, and where they sit on the board.

  2. 02

    Water in the foam

    If the skin is cracked or open, water gets into the foam. The board is dried out first, because sealing water in is worse than leaving the ding open.

  3. 03

    Colour match

    A white board is the simple end. A faded tint or a spray takes real time to mix and blend, and the price follows.

  4. 04

    Board or craft type

    Shortboards, longboards, foils, skis and boats each have their own list on Joe's job sheet.

Repairs, in their words

★★★★★
Cleanest ding repairs going round. Fixed up an Old classic for me with respect to its original scars. Joe is a legend.

Joe did an amazing job repairing my longboard. The colour match is perfect and like new again. It was finished within a few days and the whole process was very easy with no hassle dropping it off or picking it up. Really happy with the repair and would definitely recommend!

How much does a surfboard ding repair cost?
It depends on the number of dings, where they are and whether colour has to be matched. The guide prices from our workshop job sheet are in the shortboard list, and Joe confirms the exact price from a photo of your board.
How much will my boat or Jet Ski repair cost?
It depends on the craft and the damage. The guide prices cover common boat, ski and paddle jobs. Send photos to 0422 435 689 and Joe confirms the exact price. The quote is free.
How much does a respray or custom spray cost?
It depends on the size of the board or hull, the colours and how much prep the surface needs. Text a photo and the colour you want to 0422 435 689 and Joe gives you a price before any work starts. The quote is free.
Can I get a quote without bringing it in?
Yes. Text clear photos to 0422 435 689 and Joe will give you a price, then confirm it when he sees the craft. For a Jet Ski, send close-ups of the damage and one wider shot of the ski.
Can you repair epoxy and EPS surfboards?
Yes. EPS and epoxy boards are repaired with epoxy resin, and the shortboard price list covers PU and EPS boards.
Do you do insurance repairs?
Yes, insurance repair work is welcome. Send photos and Joe will quote what the board actually needs.
Is my board worth repairing?
Send a photo and Joe will tell you straight. Sometimes the answer is no, and he would rather say so than take your money.
How much does it cost to fix a snapped surfboard?
A centre snap on a shortboard is a guide $400 and a crease $200, from Joe's job sheet. Anything not on the list, such as a snap near the nose or tail, is quoted free from your photos before any work starts. See the guide prices.
