Why people bring their boards to Joe

Repairs you can’t see.

Customers keep saying the same things: they can’t find the ding afterwards, the colour match is spot on, and the board came back fast. Every repair is done by Joe himself in the Currumbin Waters workshop.

  • Invisible repairs

    “Can’t even tell where the ding was!” Dings, creases and pressure dents faired back flush.

  • Colour matched

    Matched by hand to the board in front of us, so the repair disappears into the original colour.

  • Back fast

    Reviews talk about boards back within a few days. One visiting family had their son’s nipper board fixed before their flight home.

  • Stronger than before

    A shaper as well as a repairer: “Your boards will come back stronger and better than they were before.”

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!

Best ding repair shop on the Gold Coast, Joe and the crew always look after me in the best way. Their service is so good it makes me forget where the dings even happened.

Questions

Before
You Come In

Still unsure? Call or text Joe on 0422 435 689.

How much will my repair cost?
It depends on the board, the damage and the colour work. The guide prices above cover the common jobs: dings, snaps, fin boxes, leash plugs and colour matching. Text a photo to 0422 435 689 and Joe confirms the exact price. The quote is free.
How long will it take?
It depends on the damage and how busy the workshop is. Ask when you send the photo and Joe will give you a straight answer. Reviews talk about boards back within a few days, and one family had a nipper board fixed before their flight home.
Will the repair be invisible?
Joe colour matches by hand to the board in front of him, and customers often say they cannot find the ding afterwards. On heavy tints and custom sprays he will tell you honestly what to expect before he starts.
Can you fix my board?
Yes, any brand and any construction: PU, EPS and epoxy shortboards, longboards, soft tops, foil boards, SLSC craft, surf skis and paddles. Boats and Jet Skis too, see boat and Jet Ski repairs.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Drop in Monday to Friday 9am to 4:30pm, or Saturday 9am to 12pm, at 2/14 Nuban St, Currumbin Waters.
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.
