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 Chichester 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 Chichester Harbour.

Year-Round Cover for Chichester Boats

The Chichester Harbour near Chichester is used year-round by boat owners who moor between the active cruising season and leave their boats on coastal moorings through the quieter months. A cover that was adequate for summer use often fails during West Sussex's wet and cold months — seams split, windows cloud and crack, and zips corrode when a cover is left under load for extended periods.

Our boat cover repair are built specifically for the conditions your boat will face on the Chichester Harbour. We use double-sewn seams with anti-wick thread, UV-stable fabrics that won't bleach or become brittle over successive seasons, and heavy-duty YKK marine zips that resist corrosion. If your cruising takes you between the Chichester Harbour and Chichester Canal, your cover is also tested against a wider range of conditions — an argument for choosing the heavier PVC option, which handles both protected and exposed stretches without compromise.
