Can a cracked polyethylene kayak hull really be repaired?

Yes, plastic welding is the proper way to repair a polyethylene kayak. We clean and bevel the crack, weld it with matching PE rod, and reinforce the inside of the hull where needed. The repaired area is watertight and as tough as the surrounding material once finished.

How long does a kayak repair usually take?

A simple crack or small puncture is typically a 2 to 3 day turnaround once we have the boat. Larger structural repairs, hatch rebuilds, or rebates that need reinforcement may take a week or so. We always confirm the timeline after seeing the kayak in person.

Do you repair fibreglass kayaks as well as polyethylene?

Yes, fibreglass and composite hulls are repaired by patching with new glass cloth and resin rather than welding. We can also blend the repair into the gel coat for a tidy finish. Bring the kayak in for an inspection and we will recommend the right approach.
