STRUCTURAL
REPAIRS

Not all boat damage is cosmetic. Collisions, groundings, stress fractures and long-term wear can compromise the structural integrity of a fibreglass vessel in ways that aren't always obvious from the outside. A crack that looks minor on the surface can run deep into the laminate. A soft spot that feels like a cosmetic issue can indicate serious core compromise underneath.

Structural repairs require a different approach to surface work. It's not just about making things look right, it's about restoring the full strength and integrity of the affected area so the vessel is safe and sound for the water.

At LBM Fibreglass we handle structural fibreglass repairs on all types of vessels, assessing the full extent of the damage and rebuilding to the correct specification.

Structural repair work starts with a thorough assessment. We need to understand the full extent of what's going on before we can quote accurately and plan the repair properly. That means looking beyond the visible damage, checking for delamination, testing for moisture, and understanding how the damage has affected the surrounding structure.

From there the repair process involves removing all compromised material, rebuilding the fibreglass laminate in controlled layers to the correct structural specification, and restoring the outer finish. Every structural repair we carry out is done with the goal of returning the vessel to a condition that's genuinely safe and structurally sound, not just presentable.
