MIRAGE CARE - Kayak & Surf Ski repair and refurbishment

Professional Kayak, Surf Ski & Canoe Repairs

Built by Experts. Repaired by Experts.

Every kayak tells a story.

Years of adventures, expeditions, races, beach landings, river journeys and countless hours on the water eventually leave their mark. Scratches appear, fittings wear out, gelcoat chips accumulate and sometimes more significant repairs become necessary.

When that time comes, trust your craft to the people who understand it best.

MIRAGE CARE is Australia's premium kayak, surf ski and canoe repair and refurbishment service, delivered by the experienced team behind Mirage Sea Kayaks.

Whether your craft requires a simple gelcoat repair, structural fibreglass work, a complete refurbishment or preparation for resale, our team has the experience, materials and manufacturing knowledge to restore it to its best possible condition.

Why Choose Mirage Care?

Unlike many repairers, we don't simply patch damaged kayaks.

We build them.

For more than 30 years, Mirage Sea Kayaks has been manufacturing some of Australia's most respected sea kayaks and expedition craft. The same skills, materials and techniques used to build new kayaks are applied to every repair and refurbishment project.

From minor cosmetic repairs through to major structural restoration, your kayak is in expert hands.

Bring Your Craft Back To Life

Sometimes a kayak doesn't need a repair.

It simply needs some love.

Our complete Mirage Care Refurbishment Service is designed to restore tired and heavily used kayaks back to excellent condition.

A typical refurbishment may include:

✔ Removal and replacement of deck lines

✔ Replacement of shock cord and deck rigging

✔ Replacement of decals (Mirage craft)

✔ Minor gelcoat repairs

✔ Hull and deck detailing

✔ Full machine polish and buff

✔ Rudder cable replacement (if required)

✔ Rudder pedal hinge replacement (if required)

✔ Bulkhead pressure testing

✔ Bulkhead resealing (if required)

The result is a kayak that looks better, performs better and often holds significantly greater resale value.

While no well-used kayak can be made completely showroom new, a Mirage Care refurbishment is often the next best thing.
