Servicing Melbourne & the Mornington Peninsula

Custom fibreglass
repairs & fabrication

Custom fibreglass work for hatches, access panels, floors, mounts, and structural panels, designed and built in-house to suit your boat, using the same materials and standards as our structural repairs.

Custom fibreglass work
Melbourne boat owners trust

If your boat needs something that doesn’t exist off the shelf, we design and manufacture it from scratch. Whether it’s a replacement hatch, a battery mount, a new floor section, or a full structural panel, every component is built specifically for your vessel and the conditions it operates in.

That same approach carries into every custom part we build, using stitched glass, vinylester, epoxy, vacuum bagging, infusion, carbon fibre, balsa core, and high-performance foam cores, matched to the job at hand.

The best boat repairer I have encountered.. honest. Great quality. Efficient and also worked within my budget. Highly recommended.

Brought my boat in (1750 Bullet) just before the Mildura 100 for some works which left the boat looking amazing and ready to race.

After being stuffed around with previous repairers, Pat and the team at Valentus did an amazing job on my boat. Quality work, great communication, and a finish that exceeded expectations. Highly recommend.

Why prompt hull repairs matter

A small gelcoat chip might look harmless. It isn’t. Gelcoat is your boat’s first line of defence against water. Once it’s breached, moisture works its way into the fibreglass laminate beneath.

Left unchecked, that leads to delamination and osmosis, turning a simple cosmetic fix into a major structural rebuild.

Caught a rock? Clipped the wharf? Get it assessed and sealed before it spreads.

How it works

  1. Full assessment

    We inspect the whole area, not just the reported fault. A cracked hatch or electrical issue is often a symptom of a deeper structural problem.

  2. Design

    Shape, fit, and structural approach worked out for your specific vessel.

  3. Material selection

    Stitched glass, vinylester, epoxy, infusion, carbon fibre – matched to each part’s job, flowcoated for UV resistance where exposed.

  4. Fabrication

    Every component laid up in-house to the same standard as our structural repair work.

  5. Fit & finish

    Fitted to your boat, with any surrounding gelcoat chips or stress cracks ground back and refinished as part of the job.

  6. Handover

    A part built specifically for your boat, with a clear record of what it’s made from, why, and confidence the root issue is actually fixed.
