Boat met a rock at Jacobs well ramp the other day, nice 50 cent size chunk of gel coat gone showing glass. Not something magi chip is going to fix :)

I see Arnold's at hemmant has been mentioned here a few times, they still the go to repairer for small jobs like this? Anyone else recommended for a small repair bayside area?
Cheers.

Either Arnold's or Todd's Fibreglass is worth a try. Always get a quote upfront.

You can repair them yourself if you are keen.
Here is a thread from a couple of years ago. Go to Grand Marlin's post for details.

The long flat scrape is from hitting the trailer cross member which is a whole other issue...

Give Martin at Bonito a call. He'll sort you out. He's down Jacob's Well way...FF..

Your photo's aren't showing mate. You need to use the Go Advanced button and import the pics onto AF and then attach to your post.

Do you mind putting the quote up or PM me just to get an idea?

I'd be doing it myself with a gelcoat repair kit commonly available from a chandlery store. Not a major.

I'm with Smithy, do it yourself. You will be surprised how easy it is. Get them done professionally before you sell it as your bound to add a few more scrapes in the future.
