hull repair

Fixing boat exterior

Hull repair is the process of fixing damage to the outer shell of a boat, ship, or aircraft.

For watercraft, this typically involves patching holes, sealing cracks, or replacing sections of fiberglass, wood, or metal to restore watertightness: The hull repair took three weeks after we hit the reef.

Aircraft hull repair focuses on structural integrity and aerodynamics.
