At Deck Docs, we treat every skateboard as a mechanical system. Our repair methodology begins with a thorough inspection of bearings, deck integrity, and grip tape condition. For bearing replacement, we remove old bearings, clean the hub, and install precision-rated replacements. Deck fixes involve reinforcing cracks or replacing damaged sections using wood composite fillers and structural adhesives. Grip tape installation uses pre-cut sheets aligned to the deck shape for consistent traction. All repairs are performed with appropriate tools and carefully documented to ensure transparency.
Remove, clean, and install new bearings using extraction and pressing tools.
Structural reinforcement of stress cracks and delaminated layers.
Custom-cut grip sheets applied with heat and pressure for adhesion.
Check truck hardware, axle nuts, and bushings for wear.
Skateboard repair involves multiple steps depending on the component. Bearing replacement requires disassembly of the wheel assembly, removal of the bearing shield, and use of a bearing press to seat new bearings without misalignment. Deck repair often begins with cleaning the damaged area, applying epoxy resin to fill cracks, and clamping under pressure for curing. Grip tape installation demands a clean deck surface, precise cutting of the tape sheet, and careful removal of air bubbles with a roller tool. Each method relies on standard workshop procedures and materials designed for the structural requirements of skateboarding.
Assess bearings, deck, grip tape, and hardware for wear or damage.

Reattach parts, adjust truck tension, and verify functionality.
Deck Docs replaced the bearings on my longboard. The process was explained clearly, and the new ones spin smoothly. No more grinding.
Had a split in my deck from a stair drop. They reinforced it with a filler and it feels solid again. Good attention to detail.
Needed fresh grip tape for a custom board. They cut it precisely to shape and applied it without bubbles. Exactly what I wanted.
Deck Docs maintains a workshop with specialized equipment for each repair type. For bearings, we use pullers and presses to avoid damaging races. Deck repairs involve two-part epoxy, fiberglass cloth for cracks, and clamps for uniform pressure. Grip tape installation uses 180-grit sheets, heat guns for adhesive activation, and roller tools for flat application. All materials are selected based on their compatibility with skateboard components. Our process is documented to provide clients with a record of what was done and why.
