I had a simialr situation as you. I needed to refinish my canoe very recently so I called Roger Carlise Canoe Repair in Milton 905-659-0883.
He gave the option to do the repair himself or allow you to use his shop, tools etc, at a small fee.
In my case, I paid him to do the major repairs to the haul. He then showed me exactly what to do for the remaining touch ups to save a bit of money.
I would honestly call and talk to him to understand exactly what your dealing with, he's a really nice guy.
