Accident, impact, hail and storm-related fibreglass damage assessed, documented and repaired by caravan and motorhome specialists in Sandgate.
A crack or puncture may extend beyond the visible surface. AllBrand assesses the laminate, core, adjoining structure and finish before preparing the proposed repair scope for your insurer.
The outer crack, hole or scuff is only one part of a fibreglass structure. Impact can damage the gelcoat or paint, laminate, core material, internal reinforcement and the framework or fittings behind the panel.
Simply filling and painting a surface crack may not restore strength or address why the damage occurred. Movement, crushed core, delamination or a compromised mounting point can allow the crack to return.
Our assessment considers the visible damage, surrounding panel and related internal or structural areas before the repair method is recommended.
This page covers fibreglass damage associated with an insurance claim, such as a collision, impact, hailstorm, falling branch or other insured event.
Damage from deterioration, stress over time, failed earlier work, wear and tear or a non-insured incident may require a private repair quote. Your insurer determines what is covered under the policy.
If you need a private or general repair, visit our caravan fibreglass repairs Brisbane page.
Impact cracks, stress cracking associated with an accident and split moulded panels around corners, openings and fittings.
Damage from collisions, branches, poles, roadside objects and concentrated impact through the fibreglass skin.
Separation or compression beneath the surface that can reduce panel strength even when the outer damage appears limited.
Damage to shaped caravan and motorhome panels, corners, roof caps, bumpers and integrated storage areas.
Cracked gelcoat, damaged laminate, marked mouldings and impact around roof or exterior fittings.
Scratches, gouges, chipped coatings and damaged finishes requiring preparation, painting and colour matching.
Tell your insurer how and when the damage occurred and obtain a claim number.
Provide the claim number, vehicle details and clear photos of the damaged panel and surrounding areas.
We inspect the surface, laminate, core and related structure and prepare the proposed repair scope.
After insurer authorisation, the approved structural, finishing and related work is completed and checked.
Further access or removal of damaged material may be needed before the complete repair scope can be confirmed.
The appropriate method depends on construction, access, repair size, structural involvement, parts availability and insurer approval.
Our team can assess and rebuild damaged laminate, core and moulded sections rather than treating only the visible surface.
Preparation, colour matching and refinishing can be coordinated with the structural repair.
Caravan technicians, fibreglass specialists, auto electricians, mechanical technicians and fabricators can collaborate where damage crosses several systems.

It depends on the cause and policy. Sudden accidental, hail, storm or impact damage may be treated differently from wear, deterioration, stress cracking, failed maintenance or pre-existing damage.
Often, yes. The correct method depends on the crack’s cause, depth, position and whether the laminate, core or supporting structure has been affected.
Often, yes. Damaged material may need to be removed before the laminate and any affected core are rebuilt and refinished.
Yes. We assess eligible insurance damage on caravans and motorhomes, subject to vehicle size, construction and workshop capability.
Colour matching and refinishing are available where included in the repair scope. Age, fading, finish type and earlier work can influence the final approach.
Delamination occurs when bonded layers separate. It can result from impact, movement, moisture or material failure and may reduce panel strength.
The related damage is documented. Your insurer may need to review and approve supplementary work before additional repairs proceed.
Timing depends on insurer approval, access, structural damage, curing, refinishing, parts or materials and workshop scheduling.
Include the entire caravan, the damaged side or end, the impact area from several angles and close-ups showing cracks, holes, movement and any internal damage.
Where suitable, we can discuss a separate private fibreglass repair quote. Insurance work and privately funded work are kept separate.
