Marine canvas repair and replacement — professional service for all covers using Sunbrella, Stamoid, and industry‑grade materials.

What we repair and replace

  • Bimini tops and T‑tops: frame inspection, patching, seam repair, full top replacement.

  • Cockpit and helm covers: zipper replacement, strap and snap repair, re‑seaming, weatherproofing.

  • Mooring and storage covers: tear repair, reinforcement, full replacements tailored to exact boat geometry.

  • Full boat covers (all covers): custom templates, precision fit, reinforced stress points, ventilation to prevent mildew.

  • Upholstery panels and dodgers: fabric replacement, window repair or replacement (clear vinyl), hardware installation.

  • Canvas attachments and hardware: snaps, zippers, Velcro, webbing, buckles, stainless fittings.

Materials we use

  • Sunbrella: premium solution‑dyed acrylic fabric, exceptional UV resistance, colorfastness, mildew resistance, ideal for sustained sun exposure.

  • Stamoid: heavy‑duty coated polyester with superior water repellency and durability, excellent for protective covers and heavy‑use applications.

  • Industry‑grade marine thread, marine‑grade zippers, coated polyester webbing, and marine‑grade snaps and fasteners for long life in a saltwater environment.

Why choose a professional service

  • Accurate patterning and custom fitting ensure water sheds correctly, reduces flapping and wear, and improves boat appearance.

  • Proper seam construction and reinforcement prevent early failure at high‑stress points.

  • Correct material selection (Sunbrella vs. Stamoid) based on cover type, exposure, and intended use extends service life and performance.

  • Skilled repair preserves value and avoids premature full‑replacement costs.

Typical process

  1. Assessment: inspect fabric, seams, frames, hardware, and underlying mold or structural issues.

  2. Estimate: itemized options for repair vs. replacement and recommended materials.

  3. Template and fabrication: custom patterning on site or in shop; precision sewing with marine thread and reinforced seams.

  4. Installation: on‑boat fitting, hardware replacement, tensioning, and final adjustments.

  5. Follow‑up: care recommendations and optional maintenance plans.

Care and maintenance tips

  • Rinse salt and dirt regularly with fresh water; spot clean with mild soap formulated for marine fabrics.

  • Allow covers to dry before long‑term storage to prevent mildew.

  • Reapply fabric protectant as recommended for Sunbrella to maintain repellency and stain resistance.

  • Inspect seams, snaps, and zippers seasonally; repair small issues early.

All covers — from lightweight dodgers to heavy weather storage covers — are handled with expert craftsmanship and marine‑grade materials to maximize protection and longevity. Contact our shop for a detailed assessment and a custom quote.
