Yacht refit & repair
A refit either revives a boat or quietly ruins it. We work in visible stages, to a written scope, with a photo record of what happened behind each panel before it went back on.
- Haul-out
- Up to 60 ft
- Typical refit
- 3–14 weeks
- Warranty
- On workmanship
- Record
- Photographic
Hull and structure
GRP repair, osmosis treatment, keel and rudder work, stringers and bulkheads, and gelcoat restoration. On structural jobs, we tell you what the boat needs, not what is cheapest to quote.
- GRP and composite repair, laminate rebuild
- Osmosis diagnosis, peel and re-laminate
- Keel, rudder, shaft and skeg work
- Gelcoat restoration and compounding
- Two-pack topside and superstructure painting
- Antifouling, anode renewal and propeller service
Systems and propulsion
Engine overhaul and repower, generator service, shaft alignment, sterndrive rebuild, fuel and cooling systems, full electrical rewiring, and navigation and entertainment electronics.
Interiors
Joinery, headlining, flooring, upholstery and canvas. We use the same trades each time, which keeps the finish consistent on the part of a refit most often farmed out.
How quotes work
First a survey, then a written scope priced line by line. Anything found once panels are off becomes a variation that you approve before work continues, so you are never invoiced for work you didn't agree to.

Questions
Frequently asked
What does a refit cost?
Anywhere from a few lakh for cosmetics and antifouling to a large part of the boat's value for a full structural and systems refit. We survey first, because phone estimates are nearly always wrong.
How long is the boat out of the water?
A week to ten days for antifouling and routine service, three to five weeks for paint including cure time, and three months or more for a full refit. The monsoon is the sensible time for major work.
Is there a warranty?
Yes, on our workmanship. Parts and equipment carry their maker's warranty, registered in your name.
Can I visit during the work?
Please do. Owners who can't get to the yard receive weekly progress photos.
