Postal Copy Service
UK Boat Covers is based in Carterton, Oxfordshire. We supply replacement cover fabric by post across the UK. We assess your existing cover, retained supports and fastenings before agreeing the work. Cover fabric only; no new supporting frames or framework installation.
Contact Ryan with photographs of the cover fitted to your boat before posting anything. Agree the cover area, suitable sample, fabric, windows, openings, fixing layout and quote first. If you have no usable old cover, ask us to assess your photographs and proposed measurements; measurements alone may not provide a suitable pattern.
Looking for Boat Covers Near You?
A nearby workshop is not essential if your existing cover is suitable for our postal copy service. Send fitted photographs so Ryan can assess the job from Carterton before you remove or post the fabric. If you need on-site measuring or fitting, new supporting frames or framework installation, arrange those services separately and confirm the replacement fabric requirements before ordering.

How the Postal Copy Service Works
Agree Suitability and Your Quote
Contact Ryan with photographs of the cover fitted to your boat before posting anything. Agree the cover area, suitable sample, fabric, windows, openings, fixing layout and quote first. If you have no usable old cover, ask us to assess your photographs and proposed measurements; measurements alone may not provide a suitable pattern.
Post the Agreed Sample
Once Ryan confirms the sample and posting instructions, remove and pack the old cover. Include the agreed job details. Confirm the current delivery address and sample-return arrangements before sending it.
Confirm the Replacement Details
A suitable old cover provides a pattern for the replacement fabric. Confirm panels, material, colour, windows, openings and fastenings; stretched or damaged cloth may need additional details rather than a direct copy.
Dispatch and Fit to Existing Supports
We aim to dispatch within 6 working days of receiving your old cover or confirmed measurements; delivery time is additional. Confirm postage arrangements and fitting requirements with Ryan. We supply replacement fabric, not supporting frames or installation.

Can you copy any type of boat cover?
We assess replacement fabric for suitable canopies, tonneau and cockpit covers, side screens, cratch covers, pram hoods and bimini tops.
