Gelcoat Refinishing: A Return to Glory

Our refinishing process removes oxidized layers, revealing the original glossy finish that captures and reflects sunlight like a gem on the water.
UV Protection:
A freshly refinished gelcoat is fortified against UV rays, ensuring it remains vibrant and resistant to the effects of sun exposure.
Smoother Sailing:
The restored smoothness of your gelcoat reduces water resistance, enhancing your boat's performance and fuel efficiency.
