Ask about hardwareAbout boat canvas repair
Thread in the sun often wears out before the canvas, so seams tend to open first. We restitch with PTFE or UV polyester thread and replace zippers and snaps that no longer close. Small tears can be patched with matching fabric. When the canvas itself tears with a light pull, a new piece is the better spend, and we say so.

Questions
Questions about canvas repair
How can I fix a torn canvas boat cover?
Small tears can be patched and seams restitched. If the fabric tears with a light pull, the canvas has worn out and a new piece is the better spend.
Why do canvas seams fail before the fabric?
Thread exposed to sun often wears out before acrylic canvas does. We restitch with PTFE or UV polyester thread.
How much does canvas repair cost?
A zipper, seam or snap repair starts from $80 per repair. A new clear panel starts from $350.
Do it yourself boat canvas?
Patches and snap swaps can be done at home. Zippers, long seams and clear panels need a walking foot machine and marine thread.
Do you do boat cover repair?
Yes. Split seams, zippers, tie-down points and chafe holes on boat covers are repaired, and we tell you from photos when a new cover is the better spend.
