Repairs Above & Below the Waterline
At Mitchell Marine Management, we carry out shipwright work in Cairns for boat owners dealing with damage, wear or routine maintenance, above and below the waterline. A hull repair needs more than a quick look at the surface, so we inspect the affected area before we quote.
We repair fibreglass and timber hulls and decks, fix gelcoat damage, assess osmosis and handle antifouling and fit-outs. We'll also plan the job around any slipping or haul-out it needs. If the mast or rigging has to come off as part of the work, our rigging service can take care of that too.
Tell us what's happening with your vessel, including any visible damage or previous repairs. Call 0460 971 939 to arrange an inspection and quote.
Hull, Deck & Antifouling Work
Good shipwright work deals with the cause, not just the damage you can see.
- Hull repairs.We repair fibreglass and timber hulls after impact, wear or water damage. We inspect beyond the visible mark first, because it rarely shows the full extent of the problem.
- Antifouling and slipping.We plan antifouling around haul-out, access and the coating your boat needs. Good preparation matters as much as the coat itself.
- Gelcoat and osmosis.We repair chips, cracks and crazing in the gelcoat and check for signs of osmosis. Telling the two apart early avoids treating a structural issue as a cosmetic one.
- Decks and fit-outs.We repair deck sections, replace fittings and improve a boat's working spaces. Knowing how you use the boat helps us choose the right materials and layout.
