Made to Measure Boat Cover Repair in Broughton-in-Furness

Trusted by Broughton-in-Furness Boat Owners

Most of our Broughton-in-Furness orders arrive through word of mouth — from boat clubs, marina notice boards, and recommendations passed on between neighbours on the Duddon Estuary and Coniston Water. We're a small family business run by Ryan and a small team of cover-makers in Carterton, Oxfordshire. Every cover is made by hand in our workshop, checked before dispatch, and sent out only when we're satisfied it meets the same standard we'd expect for our own boat.

Cumbria boaters who've used us regularly say that the combination of no-VAT pricing, accurate copying from the original cover, and consistent turnaround is what keeps them coming back when a cover eventually wears out. We also offer a repair service starting from £89, so if your boat cover repair on the Duddon Estuary needs a new window, a zip replacement, or a seam repair rather than a full replacement, post it to us and we'll assess and quote before doing any work. No obligation to proceed if the quote isn't right.

Marine Fabrics & Materials

All repairs use the same marine-grade materials as our new covers — UV-resistant thread, heavy-duty YKK marine zips, and clear flexible PVC window panels that resist UV yellowing. Patches are sewn and heat-bonded for maximum strength, using fabric matched as closely as possible to your existing cover colour and weight. We always aim to extend the working life of your existing cover rather than replace it unnecessarily.

For Broughton-in-Furness boats in coastal or tidal locations, we recommend 400 g/m² marine PVC over acrylic canvas — PVC handles salt spray and stronger coastal UV without the accelerated deterioration that affects lighter fabrics in exposed positions on the Duddon Estuary.
