Sun, water and time take a toll on gel coat. It goes dull, chalky and faded as it oxidizes, and stains settle in along the waterline. Boatworks' gel coat refurbishing uses buffing and polishing to cut through that tired surface and restore the colour and gloss underneath.
Gel coat restoration is also the ideal prep for a ceramic coating, which helps lock in the result.
Common signs are a dull, chalky or faded look, and sometimes a powdery residue when you rub the surface. If you're unsure, send us a photo.
How much does gel coat restoration cost?
It depends on the boat's size and how much correction the gel coat needs. Every boat is quoted individually, so call 705-538-2080 or send a quote request.
Should I get a ceramic coating after polishing?
We recommend it. A ceramic coating helps protect the freshly polished gel coat and keeps it easier to clean.
Can you do this while my boat is in storage?
Yes. The off-season is a great time to have your gel coat restored.
