Gel-Coat Restoration

Starting at $150 per foot

(Pricing based on center console boats. Other boat types may vary — custom quotes available.)

When gelcoat becomes heavily faded, chalky, or porous, polishing alone often won’t restore the finish for long. Our Gelcoat Restoration service is designed for boats where traditional buffing and polishing no longer lasts.

Using professional marine restoration systems such as Poppy’s Patina wipe-on gelcoat restoration, we restore color, depth, and gloss to severely oxidized fiberglass surfaces. The product bonds to the gelcoat and creates a durable protective layer designed to last years instead of just a few months like traditional polishing.

This process restores the appearance of faded gelcoat while providing long-term protection against UV damage, oxidation, saltwater exposure, and environmental wear.

Gel-Coat Restoration

Starting at $150 per foot

What's Included

• Surface cleaning and preparation
• Oxidation removal as needed
• Professional gelcoat restoration application
• Protective finish designed to last for years
• Final wipe down and inspection

How Long It Lasts

Unlike polishing that may fade again in 3–6 months, gelcoat restoration systems like Poppy's Patina are designed to last multiple years with proper care.

Ideal For

• Heavily faded or chalky gelcoat
• Boats that require frequent polishing
• Severely oxidized fiberglass surfaces
• Owners looking for a long-term restoration solution

Important

Final pricing depends on oxidation level, surface condition, and boat layout.
No payment required upfront — we'll confirm everything before scheduling.
