What does fiberglass and delamination repair cost, and what is involved?

OCRV Center performs fiberglass and delamination repair in-shop in Yorba Linda for RVs, fifth wheels, and campers. Collision repair restores the body, structure, and finish of an RV, van, or trailer after an accident. Collision estimates are written after inspection, we bill every major carrier direct, and the work is backed by our warranty.

About Fiberglass and Delamination Repair

Fiberglass and Delamination Repair is part of our collision and body work, performed entirely in-house at our Yorba Linda facility for RVs, fifth wheels, and campers. We inspect first, write a clear estimate, and document any hidden damage with photos so an insurance claim reflects the real repair rather than a thin first number.

Because we only work on RVs, vans, and trailers, fiberglass and delamination repair is routine for our technicians. Insurance-led collision, structural, fiberglass, aluminum, panels, and ADAS.

Structural and frame repair

A hard impact often bends the steel or aluminum structure behind the body, not just the visible panels. We measure the frame and cage against factory specifications and pull it back to spec before any cosmetic work begins.

Skipping structural work is the most common way a repair fails later: a panel that looks straight over a twisted frame will never fit, seal, or hold paint correctly. Getting the bones right first is what makes the rest of the repair last.

Fiberglass, aluminum, and panel work

RV and trailer bodies are built from fiberglass front and rear caps, laminated sidewalls, and on Airstreams, riveted aluminum. Each material is repaired differently, and a general body shop set up for cars rarely has the process for any of them.

We repair or replace cracked caps, punctured skin, crushed compartments, and damaged doors and windows, then blend the new work into the surrounding finish so the repair disappears.

ADAS recalibration and safety systems

Modern vans and motorhome chassis carry forward cameras, radar, and lane-keep and emergency-braking sensors. After structural, bumper, or windshield work these systems have to be rescanned and recalibrated, or the driver assistance reads the road incorrectly.

We complete the post-collision ADAS scan and recalibration that many shops skip, so the vehicle leaves safe and the warning lights stay off.

What affects the cost

The price of fiberglass and delamination repair depends on the specifics of your vehicle and the extent of the work. The main cost drivers are:

  • Whether the frame or cage is bent, not just the body panels
  • Fiberglass cap, laminated sidewall, or riveted aluminum construction
  • Hidden water intrusion exposed by the impact
  • Paint area and whether a panel blend or a full refinish is required
  • ADAS sensors that need recalibration
  • Parts lead times on older, imported, or discontinued chassis

What is included

A typical job includes:

  • A documented inspection with photos for your claim
  • Frame and structural measurement and straightening
  • Fiberglass, aluminum, and panel repair or replacement
  • Color match and refinish
  • Glass, seal, and trim replacement where needed
  • Post-collision ADAS scan and recalibration
  • Supplement handling with your insurance carrier
