We don't just patch damage. We make it invisible.
Your RV takes a beating on the road. Parking lot dings. Spider cracks from impact. Scratches from trees, gear, and careless neighbors. These aren’t major structural issues, but they’re not minor either.
Cosmetic fiberglass damage erodes your RV’s resale value faster than you’d expect. A buyer sees one visible spider crack and suddenly questions what else is wrong. Surface scratches that previous shops tried to patch with mismatched gelcoat look worse than the original damage. Previous repair attempts are often the worst culprit — some shops apply automotive paint to fiberglass, which is the wrong approach entirely. Gelcoat is different from automotive paint: different formulation, different cure time, different durability.
You need a repair that truly vanishes. Fiberglass Worx specializes in cosmetic fiberglass repairs that disappear completely into your RV’s original finish. Our proprietary gelcoat color-matching process sets us apart. We analyze your specific gelcoat under different lighting conditions, mix custom blends on site, and cure samples to see true color. The result: a repair you shouldn’t be able to see., and our dedicated indoor facility means consistent quality regardless of Colorado weather.

Every cosmetic repair follows our proven process in our dedicated indoor facility with controlled conditions.
Call us at (303) 585-0515 to schedule a free in-person assessment. Bring your RV to our facility and we’ll evaluate the damage on-site. No obligation, no paperwork required.
We remove damaged gelcoat, sand the repair area, and create a clean foundation. Proper prep determines repair quality. Shortcuts here show up in the final result.
Custom-blended gelcoat goes on in layers. Each layer is matched to your original finish. Lighting, pigment density, and cure conditions all matter. Our team monitors application carefully.
Gelcoat cures fully before we sand and buff the repair area. This creates a seamless blend with surrounding fiberglass. The goal: zero visible transition.
You shouldn't be able to tell the repair was ever there. That's our standard. We inspect under multiple lighting conditions before final approval.
Your RV is ready. We walk you through the completed repairs, point out the repaired areas so you can verify the color match yourself, and make sure you're completely satisfied.

Common questions about RV cosmetic fiberglass repair answered by our specialists.
Cost depends on damage extent, location, and complexity. A small scratch might run $300-$600. A larger spider crack or dent could be $800-$1,500. Damage involving poor previous repairs costs more because we need to remove and redo the work. We provide exact pricing after assessment. Call (303) 585-0515 for a free estimate.
Most cosmetic repairs fit into our 4-6 week turnaround. Simple single-panel scratches sometimes finish faster. Larger jobs or those requiring extensive color-matching take the full timeframe. We prioritize quality over speed.
Yes. This is our specialty. Our proprietary process analyzes your specific gelcoat and creates custom blends on site. We cure samples to see true color under different lighting. Gelcoat matching is different from automotive paint matching. Most shops don't understand this difference. We do.
Cosmetic damage affects appearance only. Scratches, dings, chips, spider cracks in non-structural areas. Structural damage compromises the RV's integrity. Cracks that run along seams, damage affecting sidewalls or roof strength, or damage that lets moisture into framing requires structural repair. Our assessment determines the category.
Absolutely. Buyers inspect cosmetic appearance carefully. Visible damage and poor repairs reduce value significantly. A proper repair that disappears helps you retain value and appeal to buyers. It also prevents cosmetic issues from becoming structural problems.
Automotive paint doesn't bond properly to fiberglass. Gelcoat is specifically formulated for fiberglass. Different pigment profiles. Different cure chemistry. Different durability under UV exposure. Automotive paint on fiberglass looks wrong and fails faster.
Yes. We handle repairs that other shops botched. Sometimes we remove and redo the entire repair. This costs more because we're fixing someone else's work. It's worth it for a repair that actually looks right.
Our process accounts for gelcoat color shift under UV exposure. We match to the aged color, not just the current appearance. We monitor lighting conditions during application. We sand and buff to create seamless transitions. We inspect multiple times before the RV leaves our facility.
