Fibreglass Repairs & Moulding

Composite repairs and custom moulding for durable, lightweight, factory-grade results.
Why This Service Matters

Fibreglass and composite parts reduce weight and improve aerodynamics, but impacts, fatigue and UV exposure can crack laminates and gelcoats. Poor repairs lead to water ingress, delamination and premature failure. Wales Heavy Vehicle Repairs delivers fibreglass repairs and custom moulding that restore strength, profile and finish using approved materials, controlled processes and documented QA. Vehicles return to service looking right and performing reliably.

What We Repair

Trucks & Semi-Trailers

Bumpers, fairings, roof caps and side cowls repaired or remade to specification.

Buses & Coaches

Nose cones, skirts, corner panels and luggage-door surrounds restored for presentation and safety.

Trailers

Panels, nose cones and aero kits repaired; missing parts reproduced from in-house moulds.

Heavy Equipment

Cabs, guards and covers repaired with reinforced laminates and protective finishes for harsh sites.

Commercial Fleets

Consistent methods and documentation nationwide for predictable approvals and turnaround.

How We Work

We combine composite specialists, controlled environments and verified processes to deliver strong, clean, repeatable results while reducing cycle time.

1
Assessment and Imaging

Structured inspection identifies cracks, star breaks, crushed cores and delamination. We photograph damage, measure profiles and note fastening and bonding systems to scope materials and labour accurately.

2
Clear Quotation and Insurer Liaison

You receive an itemised estimate with imagery. We work directly with major insurers to streamline authorisations, confirm parts options and set realistic delivery dates.

3
Preparation and Profiling

Damaged sections are trimmed back to sound laminate. Bevels are prepared for scarf repairs. Patterns are taken for missing features and complex curves.

4
Structural Laminate Repair

Layered mat and cloth are laid with approved resins to restore thickness and strength. Cores are replaced where required. Bonding is performed to manufacturer guidance.

5
Moulding and Part Reproduction

We create plugs and moulds to reproduce unavailable or bespoke parts. Fit is verified against apertures, mount points and adjacent panels before finishing.

6
Filling, Fairing and Refinishing

Surfaces are faired and primed, then refinished in down-draft bake booths. We colour match to OEM or fleet standards and reinstate decals or markings as specified.

7
Reassembly, QA and Handover

Components are refitted with correct fasteners and sealants. A second-person QA confirms fit, profile and finish. You receive images and product data sheets.

Capabilities and Equipment
Composite Repair Bays

Controlled areas for clean layup, curing and dust management to protect finishes.

Laminate and Core Replacement

Mat, cloth and core materials selected for strength-to-weight and durability.

Custom Plugs and Moulds

In-house pattern making and moulding to reproduce unavailable or custom parts.

Adhesive Bonding and Riveting

Approved bonding systems and mechanical fastening for long-term integrity.

Plastic and FRP Integration

Processes for transitions between plastics and fibreglass with appropriate primers.

Large Down-Draft Bake Booths

Cured, high-gloss, chemically resistant finishes suitable for high-mileage fleets.

All in-house at major sites to reduce cycle time and maintain quality control.

Quality, Safety and Compliance

Repairs follow OEM and material supplier methods using certified resins, cores and adhesives. Technicians are trained to current standards and our sites are authorised by leading insurers. We document laminate schedules, bonding systems and bake profiles. Safety and compliance are never compromised, and recommendations are data-driven.
