Some of Our Fibreglass Repairs
-
Decorative GRP Wall Panel – Structural Repair & Colour Match
This decorative wall panel featuring a Ferrari motif was damaged after falling from the wall, cracking the corner and breaking through the fibreglass laminate. Although not a structural component, the panel required a proper structural repair to restore strength and prevent future failure once refitted.
The damaged area was ground back, rebuilt with reinforced laminate, and carefully re-profiled to match the original shape. Once structurally sound, the repair was finished with a colour-matched gelcoat, blending seamlessly with the original surface and gloss level.
The result is a strong, clean repair that restores both appearance and durability, allowing the panel to be safely refitted without visible signs of damage.
This job is a good example of the general fibreglass and GRP repair work carried out at SAVIOURs Yard — from architectural and decorative items to one-off panels where replacement isn’t practical and finish matters.

Discreet Architectural GRP Repair – Column Restoration
This GRP column came from the front of a private home and had suffered significant impact damage. The column capital was cracked, broken through the laminate, and structurally compromised.
The challenge wasn’t just the repair — it was the timing.
The work needed to be completed quietly and discreetly while the homeowners were away, with no visible signs once refitted. The column was removed, repaired off-site, rebuilt structurally, re-profiled, and finished to match the original surface before being reinstalled in place.
The repair was completed in time, refitted cleanly, and returned exactly as it was.
The homeowners never knew any damage had occurred.This is the type of work we regularly handle at SAVIOURs Yard — structural fibreglass and GRP repairs on architectural and non-marine items where replacement isn’t practical, and discretion matters as much as the finish.
Strong, clean, and back in place — without drama.

Caravan Gas Cupboard Lid – Structural GRP Repair
This caravan gas cupboard lid arrived with a visible crack and underlying structural damage. As this area is regularly handled and load-bearing, the repair needed to be structurally sound, not just cosmetically filled.
The damaged laminate was ground back, reinforced internally to restore strength, and rebuilt correctly using appropriate GRP materials. Once the structure was sound, the surface was faired, finished, and gelcoat colour-matched to blend seamlessly with the original panel.
The result is a strong, clean repair that restores both function and appearance.
Most importantly, the customer was very happy with the finish and strength of the repair.This is a good example of the general fibreglass repair work we carry out at SAVIOURs Yard — practical GRP repairs where durability matters just as much as how it looks.

Fibreglass Repairs – FAQ
What is your fibreglass repair process?
Every repair is assessed individually before work begins. We look at the material type (fibreglass, GRP, epoxy, or polyester), laminate thickness and structure, how the item is used and loaded, and whether repair or replacement is the sensible option. Repairs are completed using the correct resin systems, reinforcement where required, and proper curing times to ensure durability and longevity.
What standard of finish do you provide?
All repairs are completed to a clean, tidy, and functional finish as standard. Where required, we can fair and smooth the repair area, colour-match gelcoat where possible, or leave a workshop or utility finish if appearance is not critical. The finish level is agreed before work starts.
How long do fibreglass repairs take?
Small fibreglass repairs are usually completed within a few days. Larger or more complex repairs are quoted individually. Urgent repairs may be available depending on workload. We don’t rush repairs that require proper preparation and curing.
How much do fibreglass repairs cost?
All fibreglass repairs are quoted after inspection. Pricing depends on the size and complexity of the damage, the materials and reinforcement required, and the finish level requested.
Do I need to bring the item in for a quote?
Items can be dropped off at the yard for inspection, or assessed initially using clear photos. Photos allow us to confirm suitability and provide guidance before booking the work in.

No. We don’t rush repairs that require proper preparation, reinforcement, and curing time. Our priority is strength, safety, and longevity.
